Visual learners are those who learn best through what they see. For example, a visual learner needs to see a math problem worked out step by step rather than just listen to the teacher explain it in order to learn. If that sounds like you here some tips on how to get the most out of your study time.
Not sure what type of learner you are? Take this test at Education Planner and find out!
1) Color Code Your Notes
Color coding your notes can help you visualize the information you learned that day and help you quickly identify the important bits. They also make your notes pretty and colorful. Try assigning each color a meaning. For instance, everything yellow is going to be on the test and everything blue is a homework assignment.
2) Flash Cards
Flash cards are a great tool for both visual and kinaesthetic learners. To make them more visual learning friendly, copy down the graphs or symbols that your teacher used in the lesson and make a matching game with their definitions. Caution, do not over load your flash cards! With flash cards, the gist is better than a 5 paragraph essay. If you want to make your cards online check out this handy site:
3) Watch Tutorial Videos
Watching a video can be a great way to refresh your memory or learn a new concept. In a tutorial video you can pause, rewind, or fast forward the video whenever a concept is too hard or familiar. The Khan Academy and Youtube are both great resources for educational videos. On Youtube, we love
Minute Physics
Your Teacher Math Help
Khan Academy
4) Rewrite Or Type Your Notes
It may seem repetitive but rewriting or typing your hand written notes is a great way to review the lesson. For visual learners, seeing the information again and again in new ways helps it stick even deeper in your brain.

Hello, On september 2nd, i got the news that my mom had passed away, because of that, i missed almost 2 and half weeks of class, i take 4 college classes and was wondering if you have any tips on getting back on track. I could really use motivation
I’m so sorry for your loss, sweetheart.
Here are some things you should do first:
Ask your teachers for advice: You can ask them for any hand outs you might have missed, ask them for practice tests, ask them what you can do to catch up, ask them to explain difficult bits after school,…
Ask friends/ classmates for their notes or help: If they don’t want to give your their notes, just ask them to explain things if your teachers don’t have time!
Read through your textbooks and start making summaries: If you’re pretty much alone on this one, start by annotating and summarising your textbooks. You’ll be able to study and learn on your own.

Something a little different to answer the question of ‘How should I study?’ I’ve done some research on the main three learning types- visual, auditory and kinesthetic, so just see which one fits you best (you might be more than one), and try out the six most popular methods I’ve found for each. For reference, I’m a visual learner, can you tell? Haha!
