INTRODUCTION The questionnaires advise us to the variety of different approaches to learning. It supports those who have been having difficulties with their learning and has particular applications in education, business, sport, training or another kind of activity that you are learning. Mentors, trainers, teachers and coaches who would like to develop additional learning strategies can also benefit from using VARK. It can be used with a business group, a team or a class or with one-to-one training and counseling, but it does require some explanation to avoid leaping to inappropriate conclusions. Well, in order to explain and show you an example of VARK in this present you can watch how usefulness it can be with us.

Use the following helpsheets for study strategies that apply to your learning preferences: Multimodal Multimodal Study Strategies The multimodal style of learning means that I have a mixed combination of potentialities of the learning styles. The 6 in the visual category means that I am lacking potential in that area as learning style than the others. But I have a vary balance learning style. One advantage of being multimodal is that I can adapt to different teachers styles; so I could be effective in different circumstances and environment. I could switch to the teachers way of teaching because I have many resources to understand and communicate the information. According to my score, READ/WRITE and KINESTHETIC categories are the highest 11 points both, which means that I need to improve the other two strategies of learning and communicating from that category; but, I understand that I could use strategies from the other styles.
