No. Use the possessive form of the noun (brother's), not the prepositional phrase with "of."

Here are your brother's two issues at school.
Here are two of your brother's issues at school. (If there are more than 2.)

So this sentence is correct, right?

AlpheccaStarsHere are two of your brother's issues at school. (If there are more than 2.)

What do you mean 'if there are more than two'?

What about using 'concerning' instead of 'of' in that sentence? (here are the two issues concerning your brother at school). Would that work?
