7 learning styles:1. visual-spatial2. aural-auditory3. physical-bodily-kinesthetic4. verbal-linguistic5. logical-mathematical6. social-interpersonal7. solitary-intrapersonal

1st Visual (Spatial)

• Visual learners learn best by looking at the objects.

Suggestion:• If you are a visual learner, use images,

pictures, color and other visual media to help you learn. Incorporate much imagery into your visualizations.

2nd Aural (Auditory-Musical-Rhythmic)

• If you use the aural style, you like to work with sound and music. You have a good sense of pitch and rhythm.

Suggestion:• If you are an aural learner, use sound, rhyme,

and music in your learning. Focus on using aural content in your association and visualization.

3rd Physical (Bodily-Kinesthetic)

• If the physical style is more like you, it's likely that you use your body and sense of touch to learn about the world around you.

Suggestion:• If you use a physical style, use touch, action,

movement and hands-on work in your learning activities. For visualization, focus on the sensations you would expect in each scenario.

4th Verbal (Linguistic)

• The verbal style involves both the written and spoken word. If you use this style, you find it easy to express yourself, both in writing and verbally.

Suggestion:• If you are a verbal learner, try the techniques

that involve speaking and writing. Find ways to incorporate more speaking and writing in techniques.

5th Logical (Mathematical)

• If you use the logical style, you like using your brain for logical and mathematical reasoning.

Suggestion:• If you are a logical learner, aim to understand the

reasons behind your content and skills. Don't just rote learn. Understanding more detail behind your compulsory content helps you memorize and learn the material that you need to know. Explore the links between various systems, and note them down.

6th Social (Interpersonal)

• If you have a strong social style, you communicate well with people, both verbally and non-verbally.

Suggestion:• If you are a social learner, aim to work with others

as much as possible. Try to study with a class. If this is not available then consider forming your own study group with others at a similar level. They don't have to be from the same school or class.

7th Solitary (Intrapersonal)

• If you have a solitary style, you are more private, introspective and independent.

Suggestion:• You prefer to learn alone using self-study. When

you spend time with an instructor or a teacher, you often only clarify information you haven't be able to clarify yourself. You may dislike learning in group. Don't be afraid to ask questions like 'What's in this for me?' 'Why does this matter?', 'How can I use this idea?‘.
