  • “And what not”

    The info is great and I love the detail. It’s a wonderful resource. I’ve bought some of her test prep material that has really helped. My biggest issues is that she says “and what not” every other sentence and it’s painful to listen to sometimes. Like I can’t listen to more than 1 episode at a time because that’s how frequently she says “and what not”.

  • Game changer

    This is SO HELPFUL. I was struggling to get through the exam prep textbook and listening to Briana has totally changed the game for me. She explains everything so clearly and concisely and I can listen while going for a walk or doing mundane chores. I feel so much better going into my exam next week!
