Teaching for
People are as different as fingerprints. Each individual has his or her own unique traits and features that make up who they are and how they respond to a variety of situations. One of those differences is how a person learns. When it comes to learning, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Where some people learn best from hearing lectures, others learn better from hands-on experience.
VISUAL LEARNER Learns best by seeing information as it helps him or her visualize the connection between concepts.
How to appeal to visual learners:
• Share a video from the dōTERRA ® YouTube channel to help attendees learn more about essential oils.
• Prepare visually enlightening presentations with coordinating graphics, charts, and diagrams.
• Prepare an essential oil demonstration for attendees to watch and learn from.
• Create presentations, handouts, or graphics that are dynamic in color to appeal to a visual learner’ s strong sense of color.
AUDITORY LEARNER Learns best by hearing or speaking information out loud, allowing him or her to better remember and concentrate on information.
How to appeal to auditory learners:
• Create dynamic presentations with your own voice. Use both soft and loud voices when appropriate to engage learners.
• Choose specific attendees to read aloud prepared quotes or information that you would like to have highlighted.
• Set aside time for attendees to share personal experiences or to ask or respond to questions. This will give auditory learners a chance to speak and reaffirm what they are hearing.
• Offer any returning attendees the opportunity to speak or teach about what they have learned previously.
