Expert Help with Competitive Rates in US History & Civics: AP & Praxis

Brian D.

Totally transformed my score and confidence!

Brian is absolutely incredible! From the very first session, he made studying feel manageable and even enjoyable. He didn’t just teach me the material; he boosted my confidence, helped me believe in myself, and showed me strategies that actually work. One of the things I appreciated most was how he helped me quickly identify my wrong answers and taught me how to narrow down the choices to find the correct answer. Thanks to his guidance, my Praxis score jumped from 138 to 197, a huge improvement I never thought possible on my own. Brian is patient, supportive, and really knows how to break down complicated concepts so they make sense. He always encouraged me to push a little further, celebrate the wins, and learn from the mistakes. I left every session feeling more prepared and more confident in my abilities. I honestly couldn’t have achieved this without him. If you want a tutor who not only knows their stuff but also truly cares about your success, Brian is the absolute best. I cannot thank him enough for all the late nights he spent tutoring me. He is the absolute best!!

Hi Abigail! Wow, thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful feedback! I appreciate your earnestness, hard work, and ability to find the humor in this often frustrating process. The Social Studies Test (7004) is a tough exam; your massive improvement is a testimony to your commitment to doing the homework and persisting until you cracked the code.

THE BEST!!!

When I first began preparing for the Praxis 5081 exam, I felt completely overwhelmed. I didn’t know where to start, what to focus on, or how to structure my study plan. That’s when I came across Brian’s profile on Wyzant. The glowing reviews immediately stood out, and now, after working with him, I can confidently say they were absolutely accurate. From the very beginning, Brian was patient, knowledgeable, and most importantly, genuinely invested in my success. After I took the Praxis for the first time and didn’t achieve the score I hoped for, I reached out to Brian for support. He didn’t just offer encouragement; he created a targeted plan to help me improve. Over the course of a month, through focused tutoring sessions and countless back-and-forth emails, Brian guided me every step of the way. His ability to simplify complex concepts, recommend the right resources, and keep me motivated made all the difference. What stood out the most was how much he truly cared, not just about the content, but about me as a student and my goal of passing the test. I recently retook the Praxis this past Sunday, and I was blown away by the results. My score increased by 22 points, and I passed. I truly couldn’t have done it without Brian’s support. I am beyond grateful for all that he has done and would recommend his services without hesitation. If you're struggling, unsure where to begin, or simply want expert guidance from someone who cares, Brian is the tutor you want. I would work with him again 100 times over.

Knowledgable, Adaptable, and Helpful!

I started sessions with Brian in the summer with the intent of taking the Praxis 5081 for Social Studies, until my state standards changed right before my test date, and I had to cancel and reschedule for the 5581. This test is new but has many similarities to the 5081, and Brian was more than ready to help me prepare for this new version of the test! One of the first things he did when I told him the news was find the new Test Specs document and share it with me, as well as expose me to other resources that may suit the new style of test better. When studying for the 5081, he provided many opportunities for practice and retention in the form of questions, helpful documents, and visual demonstrations. He also took the time out of his day to go over any graded practice problems I sent to him outside of our scheduled lessons, replying with either literal or verbal explanations of the context of the period, as well as why certain answers were right/wrong. He is qualified to help anyone who needs some history review for their Praxis or in a general context, and his enthusiasm made the entire process enjoyable and as close to stress-free as it could be. Thank you, Brian, for all your help! :)

Very good tutor

Brian helped my child with her AP US History. The coarse material has a very overwhelming work load. So Brian helped her going through section by section. This process made her more confident.

Knowledgeable and helpful!

Brian helped me pass the Praxis 5081 exam. He helped boost my score by 18 points, which was more than what I needed to pass. Brian was patient and came up with a quick plan of where I needed to focus my studies to ensure I passed. Leading up to the exam, he sent me materials to help me practice. I definitely recommend Brian, he was GREAT!!!!

Help with the Praxis Writing 5723

Brian was very helpful and answered all of my questions. He is very supportive and knowledgeable. He helped me better my essays for the praxis, along with the multiple choice grammar questions.

Great AP Euro Tutor

Brian has been such a great tutor for my daughter in AP European History. She says his explanations are so much clearer than her school teacher's, and she’s finally understanding the material. Since she started lessons with him, I’ve noticed she’s more confident in the subject and doesn’t feel as stressed about it. We’re really happy with how much he’s helped her, and I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a tutor!
