Learning Style Assessment

When you come to the Burton Center for the first time to seek tutoring in any subject, you can expect to complete a Learning Style Assessment before your tutoring session begins. Our tutors are trained to read the results of your assessment and then apply their understanding of your learning style to each tutoring session. For instance, if you are predominantly a vision learner, our tutors are equipped to use visual examples and tools to assist you as you learn. Tutors will also assist you in applying your learning style to your own methods of studying and academic success.

In order to expedite this process you may follow this link to an on-line assessment, complete the assessment, print the results and bring them with you to your first visit to the Burton Center. We will keep your results on file and add them to your profile on the Burton Center Tracking System. Index of Learning Styles Questionnaire
