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 .
