Learners who prefer to learn visually like to "see" concepts so they can understand them. They like viewing graphs, overheads, PowerPoint presentations, flip charts, and illustrations. Visual learners may try to sit in the front of the classroom so they can easily see what is being presented. They watch the teacher's body language and expressions to help interpret the content of a lesson. They often take notes and use highlighters to help bring attention to important information.

A visual learner will use expressions such as, "I can picture that" or "I see what you're saying" when comunicating that they understand something.
