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.
As a visual learner, you are usually neat and clean. You often close your eyes to visualize or
remember something, and you will find something to watch if you become bored. You may have
difficulty with spoken directions and may be easily distracted by sounds. You are attracted to color
and to spoken language (like stories) that is rich in imagery.
Here are some things that visual learners like you can do to learn better:
Sit near the front of the classroom. (It won't mean you're the teacher's pet!)
Have your eyesight checked on a regular basis.
Use flashcards to learn new words.
Try to visualize things that you hear or things that are read to you.
Write down key words, ideas, or instructions.
Draw pictures to help explain new concepts and then explain the pictures.
Color code things.
Avoid distractions during study times.
Remember that you need toseethings, not just hear things, to learn well.

The results did not surprise me. When I have studied actively, I have realized that I am a student who
learns by looking, making different styles of graphs, charts and drawings. Previously in medical
school to learn I always had at least 20 charts per exams. I needed to use different colours as well.
On the other hand, if I want to learn something new, I must study in complete silence because I get
distracted easily when I hear any sound, so I must avoid those distractions. Probably for my learning
