​choose verbal instruction. Some learners learn best from hearing and speaking, and are comfortable listening and talking and tend to engage easily in conversation.

​Tactile-kinesthetic learners

​prefer being physically engaged in the learning process. Markova and Powell stipulated that these learners are best engaged through experiencing and doing. They prefer to write things down themselves and will remember best when they aredocumenting their own goals and progress.
