History and Science – the two subjects that made me cringe when I heard them in school, and still to this day I shy away from them. I never understood what the books taught, it never was fun – never sparked an interest in me. These were subjects that I simply had to get through. [...]

JoJo Tabares, from Art of Eloquence, has a pretty unique way of teaching communication skills! I almost laugh at the thought of my children speaking ‘eloquently’ at times, and you’d agree if you heard some of the crazy things that I hear around here.
