Learning Strategies

Once you understand your specific learning strategy and implement techniques that work in alignment with it revision and learning become so much easier! Imagine Learning Can Be Fun!!

           Kinaesthetic learners – learn through touching or doing.

Making the Connections Makes Learning Easier and Easier!!

Auditory Digital learners – use an internal voice

Auditory learners – learn through listening

Visual learners – learn through seeing

There are more senses, however unless you are a cook and using  your sense of taste and smell, these are the  ones that you are likelwy to be using. frequently, everyone has a combination of these styles -problems arise when we use the wrong learning mode for an activity.

For example a lot ofchildren who are highly kinaesthetic might try and use their kinaesthetic sense to remember how to spell. This really doesn’t work very well – in this case I would teach a child to learn how to use their visual sense in order to recall and remember the spelling of  a word.

Each and every one of us is an individual, and in our first session I discover what your child’s learning strategies are and work with them to develop strategies that are helpful for their learning needs.

Once you know how to do it it’s easy!!!

NLP and Mindmaps Learning Overview and Outcomes

These study sessions are for young people who are interested in improving their ability to learn. Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) is the study of excellence and of how people who have achieved excellence have done so.   It is also the study of how we communicate and how through our communication we create our own subjective realities.

NLP provides a framework through which we can understand how each individual makes sense of his/her world uniquely through different personality patterns and sensory filters.

Each person’s memories, beliefs, values, decisions, favoured sense (Visual, Auditory, or Kinaesthetic), and what are called Metaprograms, develop over time into a unique ‘model of the world’. Each of us uses this internal map to make sense of the world around us. This map has a profound effect on our thoughts and behaviour, and our relationships with others because we tend to think that our map is the same as everybody else’s.

This map also has a profound effect on how we learn.  By understanding the map that a person uses to learn we can change our way of working with them and help them change a learning strategy that is not working to one that does or enhance and improve a strategy that is working.
