2. Visual:
A visual learner thinks in pictures, rather than words. They tend to see the bigger picture while missing out on the little details. They like using flash cards and mind maps to revise and works best individually.
Visual learners prefer diagrams and charts, tend to talk fast, think in pictures and take detailed notes. If you identify as a visual learner you should draw the information you need to remember, color code and highlight information,
3. Kinesthetic:
A tactile learner learns through experience or physical activities, rather than sitting in a lecture or watching demonstrations. This person likes to be hands-on, has a tendency to doodle, and works best while on the move.
A kinesthetic learner learns by doing, they like hands-on approaches and may suffer from short attention spans. If you identify as a kinesthetic learner, study in short blocks, use memory games and flash cards and try to get fresh air as much as possible.
