There are several different styles of learning. A learning style is the way the brain takes in and processes information. Each and every person learns things in different ways. There are endless combinations of learning abilities that a person can possess. Three examples of learning styles are Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, and Logical-Mathematical learning.

A Logical-Mathematical learner is someone who is great at problem solving. This learner has the ability to take a task a little bit further and understand why something works the way it does. They are also good at fixing things, whether it’s a problem with a
