What is my learning style?
VISUAL LEARNERLearn best by seeing information. Ideas,
concepts, data and other information are associated
with images.
AUDITORY LEARNERRemembers what they say and what they hear, learning through listening
KINESTHETIC LEARNERLearn best by moving their bodies as they learn.
These are ‘hands-on learners’ or ‘do-ers’ who concentrate better and learn more easily when
movement is involved
