I understand that their is no one best way to learn, however, I believe that learning is more effective and efficient when a teacher is present.  

One of my past professors always said that “you simply cannot learn if you do not ask questions. ” I agree with my professor completely. No matter what you`re trying to learn, it always helps to have an expert on hand to answer questions when you get to a confusing aspect. There is nothing more frustrating than studying for hour upon hour only to become stumped. Having a teacher present can alleviate this shortfall and make studying more efficient and effective.  

A teacher`s assistance in learning material can also attribute to retaining learned material. I have noticed on numerous occasions that I am able to recall information much easier if it was obtained through my auditory sense. I can remember several test-taking situations where I have been able to recall a professor`s lecture, as if he/she were instructing me on how to complete the test.  

In the end, I understand that there is no one best way to learn. Personally, however, I believe that learning is more effective and efficient in the presence of a teacher. Having a teacher present will avoid the frustration caused by “sticking points” and will allow for easier recollection of concepts learned
