We all have a learning style which we feel most familiar with. However, by examining this style, we can often find ways of making learning more effective.

"I like to be in a relaxed, informal environment - a small mixed group.
I like to feel that I can ask the teacher to repeat explanations or words without any feeling of anxiety or that I have failed or am irritating the teacher."

| Learning Style Check!
Ask yourself the following questions in order to assess your personal learning style. Have you ever considered what your preferred learning style may be, either in or out of the classroom? When you last learned anything, either formally or informally, did you enjoy and benefit from the experience? Or were you vaguely dissatisfied but couldn't work out why? Do you...feel you must see and write down what you are trying to learn before you remember it? ... see your role as silently taking things in? ... feel you need the close attention of a teacher in order to learn? Or are you someone who takes risks and feels comfortable about doing something slightly unusual and possibly making a mistake.
