What’s a kinaesthetic learner?
Kinaesthetic learners remember things better by actively doing them. Kinaesthetic learners like to move around. Kinaesthetic learners are good at assembling and making things. They tend to be good at demonstrating how things work. Disadvantages of being a kinaesthetic learner Kinaesthetic learners may sometimes miss instructions if things are explained verbally to them. They sometimes find it difficult to concentrate on written tasks while seated. How can kinaesthetic learners study best? When revising, turn what you need to remember into a song and repeat it to yourself or get on your feet and move around as you’re memorising things. Make notes, draw diagrams or underline relevant bits of text during class. When reading a text - do something. This could be taking notes, copying key sentences or reading aloud. When studying historic events

techniques like these are suited for auditory learners:
Auditory learning is a learning style in which a person learns through listening. An auditory learner depends on hearing and speaking as a main way of learning. Auditory learners must be able to hear what is being said in order to understand and may have difficulty with instructions that are written. They also use their listening and repeating skills to sort through the information that is sent to them techniques like these are suited for auditory learners: Record class notes and then listen to the recording (repeatedly), rather than reading notes. Remember details by trying to "hear" previous discussions. Participate in class discussions. Ask questions and volunteer in class. Read assignments out loud. Study by reading out your notes Whisper new information when alone.

If you use the visual style, you prefer using images, pictures, colours, and maps to organize information and communicate with others. You can easily visualize objects, plans and outcomes in your mind's eye. You also have a good spatial sense, which gives you a good sense of direction. Techniques: Use colour, layout, and spatial organization in your associations, and use many 'visual words' in your assertions. Examples include see, picture, perspective, visual, and map. Use mind maps. Use colour and pictures in place of text, wherever possible. If you don't use the computer, make sure you have at least four different colour pens. Systems diagrams can help you visualize the links between parts of a system, for example major engine parts or the principle of sailing in equilibrium. Replace words with pictures, and use colour to highlight major and minor links. The visual journey or story technique helps you memorize content that isn't easy to 'see.' The visual story approach for memorizing procedures is a good example of this. Peg words and events come easily to you, however you need to spend some time learning at least the first ten peg words. Afterwards, your ability to visualize helps you peg content quickly. The swish technique for changing behaviours also works well for you, as it relies on visualization.
