Very true statement. This is one of the reasons I love what I do so much. I have to deal with a variety of learning styles on a daily basis and adapt my training to fit the different individuals, which can be challenging at times. As an example, one of my long time part time students has been working on his private pilot off and on for 14 years. He's a great stick and rudder guy, but just can't seem to find the time to sit down to study his books (he's an extremely busy guy, owns several companies). Making it worse, he also has a slight learning disability. We tried many different solutions to help him advance. Finally we decided that the best solution was to give his wife the Private Pilot training first. She's a school teacher and often travels with him on his business trips. So the idea (on top of the fact that she wanted to learn for herself) is for her to coach him through the theory once she get's a better grasp of it herself, instead of me having to do the same ground lesson 5 times with him spread out over several months. And if all else fails, I'll have a great client in him for the next 14 years!
