Auditory Learner

If you are an auditory learner, you learn by hearing and listening.

You understand and remember things you have heard.

You store information by the way it sounds, and you have an easier time understanding spoken instructions than written ones.

You often learn by reading out loud because you have to hear it or speak it in order to know it.

Tactile

If you are a tactile learner, you learn by touching and doing.

You understand and remember things through physical movement.

You are a "hands-on" learner who prefers to touch, move, build, or draw what you learn, and you tend to learn better when some type of physical activity is involved.

You need to be active and take frequent breaks, you often speak with your hands and with gestures, and you may have difficulty sitting still.

Visual

If you are a visual learner, you learn by reading or seeing pictures.

You understand and remember things by sight.

You can picture what you are learning in your head, and you learn best by using methods that are primarily visual.

You like to see what you are learning.
