Chances are that if you tried and failed, it wasn’t your fault, it was the result of somebody not recognising the type of learner you are or not driving the lesson in a manner you were able to focus on and process – we are all different types of learner be it kinaesthetic (learning best through “hands on” experience), visual (looking at graphics, watching a demonstration or reading would help optimise your learning) or auditory (reciting information out loud or listening to explanations would work best here) everybody has a preference for one or a combination of the above learning styles, most of the time, without realising it.
