Learning Styles

I feel that I learn different things in different ways. First and foremost I feel I learn things hands on and physically, as in the kinestesic learning style. I have always felt very nervous when I first start something new. For example, when I first went to beauty school I felt I knew nothing about being able to cut hair even though we had trained and practiced for 3 months. Then when I got the chance to work out on the floor for real is when I learned through experience and trial and error. I also feel the same thing has been true for me with teaching. I am finishing up my 3rd year and I feel totally different about my job now that I have experience under my belt. I feel I have learned most of this hands on and being in the field.
I also think I learn things pretty well visually. It helps me to be able to see things in a picture and have the images in front of me. I like to see examples and be able to make comparisons of what I am doing to help check for clarity. I also feel that I can learn a lot by learning things verbally or linguistically, it helps me to write things down and see things in the written word.
