"Why do I learn some things easier than others?"

You may have noticed by now that some subjects are a little easier for you than others, and you may not have given any thought as to why. Well, each of us is different, so it makes perfect sense that we all learn differently. The following assessments below are designed to help you figure out which learning styles fit you best, as well as give me some tips on how to teach to those styles.

There are many more tests out there that I could choose from, but this will give me a great snapshot into what will make you successful in my class.
