let's circle back to Jonathan when he's
in class and his teacher is lecturing he
gets distracted pretty easily words tend
to go in one ear and out the other but
when his teacher starts using visuals
Jonathan finds it easier to focus and
understand the material so he might be a
visual learner now think about your
history how have you enjoyed learning in
the past
do you prefer watching over listening do
you enjoy reading instead or maybe you
learn best by doing with hands-on
experience if none of these seem to grab
you give them each a try and see which
one you tend to drift towards each
learning style has its own study methods
that work best with it let's take a look
at how Jonathan and a few of his
classmates study as a visual learner
Jonathan finds it helpful to color code
his notes he finds it helps him to
organize information and internalize it
better he also creates diagrams while
studying finding that they help him to
better understand certain structures and
ideas Jonathan watches videos to finding
them helpful for extra information
ruby is more of an auditory learner she
likes to study in a group and discuss
the material with others sometimes
she'll read her notes out loud because
it helps her to hear what she's studying

listen to it later Tyrell finds that he
learns best by reading and writing
he takes substantial notes during class

breaks in order to release some of her
energy allowing her to focus when she
returns to studying all four of these
students are studying the same material
but they're doing so in different ways
now this doesn't guarantee that they'll
all get the same grades but by
determining their learning style and
finding study methods that work for them
they just might find themselves getting
better results GCF global creating
