Learning styles are a hot topic in education and for good reason.

They can help you learn better, faster, and more efficiently. The trouble is that there’s no one “right” way to learn.

Instead, different ways of learning work well for different people at different times. If you’ve ever wondered about your learning style (or your child’s), keep reading!

What is a Visual Learner?

If you’re a visual learner, you are good at seeing the big picture. You learn best by watching, listening, reading and doing.

Visual learning is one of the most effective ways to learn because it helps you to absorb information and make connections between concepts.

Visual learners need to see things to learn them. They like pictures, diagrams and graphs in books or on slideshows. If this describes you then try using video tutorials instead of written ones when possible (the same goes for auditory learners).

What is an Auditory Learner?

Auditory learners are often good at listening, talking and singing.

They like to repeat things they’ve heard, whether it’s words or sentences. They might learn best by hearing a story read aloud or by listening to music while they do their homework.

Auditory learners also benefit from podcasts that keep them engaged in what they’re learning while providing additional audio information on the topic through interviews with experts in the field.

Auditory learners prefer listening rather than reading material; they are good at remembering what they hear but struggle with written tasks such as essays or reports because they find it hard to put their thoughts down on paper without seeing them first!

Being a Reading & Writing Learner

Reading and writing are both important, but the way they help you learn is different.

Reading helps you understand what you read better.

It gives you context for what’s going on in the story or article; it gives words more meaning when they’re put into sentences (and sometimes even paragraphs).

Writing helps us remember what we write, which means that if we write something down, then later on when we come across that piece of information again, whether in another book or just as part of a conversation with friends, we’ll be able to remember it better than if we hadn’t written anything down at all!

If this sounds like someone close to you then consider giving them audiobooks instead of novels as gifts, it may just open up a whole new world for them!

Kinesthetic learning is best for hands-on activities

Kinesthetic learners also tend to be very active, but that doesn’t mean they can’t sit still! Kinesthetic learners are often drawn to sports and other physical activities, but they also learn well through movement. Some examples include:

• Playing an instrument
• Riding a bike
• Working with your hands (e.g., woodworking)
• Making crafts projects

Knowing your learning style is important. It can help you to be more effective at learning, find a job that fits your learning style and even understand your children better.

We hope that this article has helped you to understand your learning style and how it can be used to improve your study habits.

If you’re still unsure of which type is right for you, we suggest taking a quiz or even just taking note of what types of activities make studying more enjoyable!

In a future article, we will be discussing 4 more styles of learning that you may not have heard of before.

Happy studying!

Introduction

Critical thinking is the ability to think logically, objectively and analytically.

It helps us make the best decisions, evaluate situations and solve problems. Critical thinkers are also able to look at different sides of an issue, weigh up the evidence and use logic to reach conclusions.

If your child has little or no experience with critical thinking skills, you can teach them by using these easy steps:

Read a different kind of book to your child

Reading is one of the best ways to help your child develop critical thinking skills. When you read a book together, you are sharing an experience and exposing them to new ideas and perspectives.

Reading also has many other benefits for children including improving vocabulary and spelling, learning about different cultures, traditions and beliefs from around the world, as well as helping them develop their imagination so they can create their own stories later on in life.

Encourage your child to give their opinions

Don’t tell them that there is only one way of looking at something or only one right answer in a situation.

This can discourage them from looking at things with an open mind, which is needed for critical thinking skills! Instead, ask questions like: “What do you think about this?” or “What are some possible explanations for this?”

These types of questions will encourage critical thinking without forcing any answers on your child and make them feel trapped into having certain beliefs just because someone else told him so (which happens all too often nowadays).

Get them to explain things

Get your child to explain how they solved a problem. This will help them learn how to break down problems into smaller parts and think critically about the steps needed to solve them.

Ask your child to explain how they built something, like a model or sculpture. It’s important that they understand how things work so that when you ask them why something happened, they can give an answer beyond just “it did.”

Ask your child why certain mathematical rules are true (e.g. for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction).

You could also get into more advanced topics like calculus by asking questions like: “If I move at 1 mph for 10 miles then 3 mph for 5 miles, what is my total speed?” If possible, try making up problems yourself and see if your kid can solve them!

Ask them “why?”

When you have an opinion on something, it’s easy to get stuck in your own way of thinking. Your child might not know what other people think about the topic or why they feel that way.

The best way to help them learn critical thinking skills is by asking them questions that require them to explain their opinions.

Ask them why they believe something and how they came up with this conclusion. Try asking questions like: “Why do you think that?” or “How did you come up with this idea?”

If they are able to give examples or explain their reasoning then they are probably more open-minded than if they just say something like “because” or “I don’t know”.

Encourage them to argue both sides (of a case, an issue, etc).

The ability to argue both sides of an argument is a critical thinking skill that will serve you well throughout life. You may not agree with your child’s position, but it’s important that they know how to defend their own opinions.

Teach them how to do this by asking them questions about current events or issues in the news and then having them argue for both sides. This can help develop their critical thinking skills and encourage them not just to listen passively but actively engage with what they’re hearing or reading.

Conclusion

Start teaching your child critical thinking skills today. It will be one of the best gifts you can give them.

I hope this article has given you some ideas on teaching your child critical thinking skills.

The most important thing is to be patient and not expect too much from them initially. You can’t expect them to learn everything overnight!

If you keep trying different methods, then eventually they will start getting it. Once they begin grasping the concept of reasoning out situations logically instead of relying on emotions or instincts alone then they’ll be able to make better decisions throughout their lives, which is something we all wish for our kids right?

Introduction

We all know that studying is a necessity for passing exams, but it can be difficult to get started. Here are some tips to help you study effectively:

Making Learning a Necessity

When you make studying a necessity, it gives you a reason to stick with the study process. Ensure that studying is at the top of your priority list so that it becomes more than just an option and becomes something you must do.

This sense of urgency will help keep you on track when things get busy or stressful.

Understanding why we need to study something is important because it makes us want it more, helping us stay motivated throughout the process.

Study in a Preferred Place

• Study in a place you like, where you feel comfortable and relaxed.
• If you are distracted by noise or other people, find a quieter place to study.
• If you have a special study space, use it.
• Use earplugs if necessary (though this may be an indication that the environment itself is too distracting).

Setting Learning Targets

Setting learning targets is one of the most important steps in planning effective study sessions. To do it right, you need to consider these four elements:

• Your goal should be specific – “Learn Spanish” is a broad objective that can mean different things to different people. Instead, aim for something like “learn all the numbers in Spanish.” This will help keep your focus on the task at hand and prevent you from getting distracted by other things.
• It should be realistic – If you’re a beginner with no knowledge of Spanish at all, then an ambitious target like becoming fluent in three months’ time is probably not going to work out so well for you! A more appropriate target may be something more achievable like learning enough conversational phrases within six weeks’ time (which has been proven effective by researchers).
• It must have measurable components – Both when setting up your plan and when evaluating its effectiveness later on down the road. There should be clear benchmarks against which progress can be determined objectively rather than subjectively based only upon what someone else might think happened during their own experiences prior to or since yours began. For example, you might decide beforehand how many words per day or week would constitute success; then later on during review periods check back against those same numbers

Create Exam Practice

The more practice you have, the better you’ll do on the actual test. One way to do this is to create your own exams from multiple choice questions, short answer questions, and essay prompts.

Ideally, use exams from past years that were given in class as a guide for how long each question should take and what type of material it covers so that your exam reflects real-life testing conditions as closely as possible.

Flashcards are great for reinforcing information learned in class or reading assignments by having students write down key facts on one side of an index card or piece of paper, then flip them over and see if they can identify these same facts when they read them again on the other side of their cards.

If you don’t have any physical flashcards handy but want to try using them anyway (they’re not exactly eco-friendly), Google Docs allows users without account access to its database through a web browser, so there’s no need for additional tools!

Conclusion

These are just a few tips for effective studying.

Remember that each person has their own learning style, so it’s important to find what works best for you.

The most important thing is finding what makes studying fun so that you don’t get bored or discouraged by all the work required of you.

Introduction

As parents, we want to give our children the best possible start in life. We encourage them to pursue their passions and provide them with the tools they need to succeed.

However, sometimes we forget that our children are more than just a reflection of us, they’re also unique individuals who have strengths, weaknesses and interests of their own.

So how can we support our children so they feel empowered and confident as they navigate the world

Talk to your children about the people you see on the news and what’s going on in the world.

You should talk to your children about what’s going on in the world, including what you see on the news.

Talk about the things that make you angry, sad or happy and things that make you feel proud. You can also talk about anything that makes you feel scared.

TV is a great way to start conversations about things they are seeing. If you can link topical subjects to their studies, it will enhance their understanding and relationship to the subject.

Set up a designated study space and encourage them to tidy it at the end of the day.

Establishing a designated study space is one of the best things you can do to help your child succeed.

• If they don’t have one, create one (maybe in the corner of their bedroom or living room). The key here is to make sure it is free of distractions and clutter.
• Encourage your children to tidy up at the end of each day so they can start fresh every morning—this helps create a sense of calm in their space so they can focus better during schoolwork later on in the day.

Set up a routine.

It’s important to set up a routine for your children, particularly when they’re young.

Routines help children understand what’s expected of them and what they can expect from you and others in their lives. They also provide a sense of security and predictability that many children need.

For example, if you have an older child who has just started school, it would be helpful to sit down with them before school gets underway and talk about how the morning routine will work out: when homework needs to be done; when breakfast is served; how much time your child should spend on each part of their day (such as getting dressed or brushing teeth).

This can help make sure that everyone knows where they stand at all times so there are fewer arguments in the morning!

Be the first to ask for help when you need it so you model for them that asking for help is okay.

When you are feeling overwhelmed, ask for help.

Be the first to ask for help when you need it so your children see that asking for help is okay.

Don’t be afraid to ask for help from your children or other family members, friends, or professionals such as teachers.

Visit places together which can be educational.

As a parent, you can support your children by visiting places together which can be educational.

This will help them to learn about different people and cultures in the world. You could visit museums or places of worship, or other places that are important in history such as battlefields and castles.

Remind them of all of their natural talents and strengths that set them apart from others.

Remind them of all of their natural talents and strengths that set them apart from others. Help them to identify what they’re good at, and encourage them to use these skills more often.

We have so many natural talents and strengths, but we tend to forget about them when we feel like we aren’t good at something or someone else is better than us.

Help your child learn to embrace who they are as individuals, instead of comparing themselves with others or feeling inferior because they are not “perfect.”

Allow time for practice tests so they know what to expect and feel more confident when it’s time for the real thing.

Even though you may be nervous about helping your child through the process, taking a practice test is a great way to learn about yourself and what you need to work on.

Additionally, many schools recommend that students take multiple practice tests before taking the real deal. This will help them get familiar with what they will see on test day and know what to expect.

When you support your Children, they will be more likely to believe in themselves.

When you support your children, they will be more likely to believe in themselves. They’ll be more likely to try new things, which is important for them as they grow up.

That’s what it’s all about: supporting your children so that they can become confident adults who are ready for the world ahead of them.

Conclusion

We hope this has helped you to support your children and that they feel more confident.

Remember, there are so many ways in which you can support them and the most important thing is that you do something!

Introduction

If you’re a student; chances are you’ve had to learn how to study, and you have probably worked out, there’s no one-size-fits-all formula for doing it right.

Each person learns differently and has different needs when it comes to studying effectively. But there are some general tips that can help all students do better in school, and in their additional learning outside of school.

In this blog post, we’ll share five of our favourite study tips for online learners who want to ace their classes!

1) Eliminate distractions

It’s important to limit distractions while you study so that your focus is on the material and not the other things in your life.

Turn off your phone, remove any other distractions from your computer screen (such as browser tabs or chat applications), and make sure you have enough time to study.

If there are people around you who might disturb or distract you, consider finding a quiet place where they won’t be able to reach out and grab your attention.

2) Prepare a study space

With the right study space, you can create an environment that motivates and inspires you to do your best. The ideal place for studying should be quiet, comfortable and free from distractions.

A good idea is to find a room in your house where you can close the door behind you so that it’s not too easy for people to get in and out of.

If there are no rooms like this available in your home, you can use any other space that has enough room for a desk or table. If possible, try using a specific corner of the room so that when someone enters they won’t immediately see what’s on your desk.

3) Create a study schedule

There are a few key factors to keep in mind when creating your study schedule. First, make sure you have enough time to study. If you are reading over study materials in your own time and feel like you lack energy after school or online tutoring, maybe set time aside at a weekend for that learning.

Second, plan ahead! You should always create a plan for your studies before beginning them, this way, you can avoid wasting time by jumping between different subject materials and assignments without prioritising one over the other at any given moment.

Finally, remember that breaks are important! Make sure you take some time away from material every now and then so that it’ll be fresh in your mind when it’s important for studying again later on down the road.

4) Take breaks

1. Take a break every hour: Instead of spending hours at a time studying, take shorter breaks throughout the day. This will keep your mind fresh and help prevent burnout. Try taking a walk outside or reading an unrelated article if you need some time away from your work.
2. Get enough sleep: Make sure you’re getting enough sleep, as little as six hours per night has been shown to affect memory and learning ability, so make sure you’re getting enough rest! You’ll be more alert and productive when it’s time for class if you’ve got adequate rest beforehand.
3. Don’t study too much at once: It’s tempting to spend all your free time working on homework or studying for exams, but this can actually backfire by making it harder for your brain to retain new information in short-term memory space (so that means long term storage may not happen as easily).

5) Study in groups

Studying in groups is one of the most effective ways to learn more and better retain information. You can use your classmates as a resource for helping each other with homework, assignments, projects and exams.

Often times students feel like they are alone when it comes to learning new material or understanding what they are being taught. Having a group of peers who are all facing similar challenges will help you stay motivated by providing a support system that can be used both during and after class time.

This is one of the main reasons why we have our online classes in groups. Peer learning has proven to be the most effective way of learning.

Conclusion

Studying is hard work. It takes time, and it takes effort. But if you follow these tips, you’ll be better prepared for exams and tests, and that’s what matters most.

The most important thing to remember is that studying takes time. You can’t just cram before the big day and expect everything to click into place. It takes time to learn something new and become good at it.

We hope these tips will help you improve your or your child’s studying habits. Studying is not easy, but the more prepared you are, the better off you’ll be.

Good luck!

In the past decade, online tutoring has grown from an alternative to in-person learning to being just as popular. Studies show that more children are learning online than ever before.

The convenience and affordability of online tutoring make it an attractive option for families who want their children to have additional tuition after school hours with a tutor.In a survey conducted by Bramble in the summer of 2022, over 2200 students and tutors participated – confirming our ideas about how children are learning today.

In 2021, just under 80% of students found online tutoring to be effective or more effective than in-person. Now, in 2022, that number has grown to 86%.

Online learning is more accessible than ever

Online tutoring is just as accessible as its in-person counterpart. It’s easy to access and can be used anywhere with an internet connection, at any time of day, and on any device, even your phone!It’s also useful for those who are unable to attend class or meet in person because they have a busy schedule or live in remote areas.

Tutoring online is fun, convenient and affordable

Online tutoring is fun, convenient and affordable. You can find a tutor that is right for you no matter where you live in the world.Online tutoring has been around for years but it’s only recently starting to become popular with parents and students alike. Online tutors are more affordable than in-person tutors because they don’t have to pay rent or an hourly rate at an office.

This means that online tutoring costs less than traditional in-person sessions because there are fewer overhead costs involved (no office space). They also save on travel time between appointments.

It’s easier to source a tutor online than in-person

It’s easier to source a tutor online than an in-person tutor. When you’re looking for a tutor, you can find one with just a few clicks. This is especially helpful for students who are seeking tutors that live in remote areas.

It also means you are able to find a tutor who fits your needs. It may be that you cannot locally source a specific tutor, however, online tutoring can offer you access to the best tutors across the country.

You can book as little or as much tutoring as you like

You can book as little or as much tutoring as you like. We have clients who book for just a few sessions a week. You can book how many sessions and how many subjects which suit you and your child’s needs.

Students are more comfortable in their own surroundings

While learning at home is a novel concept, it’s not new. Tutors have been working with students in their homes for years. But unlike traditional tutoring sessions where the tutor visits your home and you work in your living room or kitchen, online tutoring allows the student to work from their tablet or computer.

Students also enjoy the comfort and privacy of their own homes where they feel safe to learn and explore core subjects.

Students can learn at their own pace

The online tutoring option is great for those who need more time to grasp a concept or process than they would in a traditional setting. This is perfect for students who are self-motivated and want to move forward on their own schedule but also works well for students with ADHD who do better when given extra time and space to think through things in their heads.

Gaining the edge over their peers

No one can deny that the internet has transformed the way we communicate, do business and learn. And when it comes to education, online tutoring has become an important tool in helping your child gain an edge over their peers.

Online tutoring is a great way to help your child stay engaged in their learning and get the additional educational input they deserve. It’s also a great option for parents who have busy schedules or who are looking for extra help after school hours.

As more and more parents realise that their children can learn just as well at home, we’ll see even more people taking advantage of online tutoring. We’re excited to be at the forefront of this new way of learning, and we hope you are too!
