There are three main types of learners: visual, auditory, and tactile/kinesthetic. Visual learners prefer using images and spatial understanding to learn. Auditory learners learn best through listening and speaking. Tactile/kinesthetic learners learn by experiencing things hands-on and acting things out. Students should understand their own learning style to maximize their learning potential and make lessons more engaging. Knowing whether you are a visual, auditory, or tactile learner can help you choose effective study strategies.
