What is a Kinesthetic Learner

Kinesthetic Learners or Tactile Learners are people who learn through experiencing and doing things.

They tend to become bored more quickly than other students during lectures in class.

Kinesthetic learners like to experience the world and act out events.

Work best with short-definitions, fill ins and multiple choices.

Cannot seem to stay still in class. They like to fidget and bounce their leg or tap their fingers on the desk.

They perform best in lab classes.

Study Tips:

Study somewhere else than a desk. e.g. Floor, outside.
Somewhere where you are comfortable and can concentrate.

Study in short blocks. Take plenty of breaks.

Hold the book you are studying in your hand opposed to lying
it on a bench.

Use flash cards to help memorize key dates points.

 Write lists repeatedly.

Use gestures when giving explanations.

Make models that demonstrate the main concept. The act
of making a model will reinforce learning.

Practice breathing slowly.

Use hands on experience when possible.

Associate feelings with information.

Write while you are reading or talking.

Cross yours legs to stop them bouncing and distracting you.
Have music playing in the background while studying.
