By knowing multiple ways of learning you are better equipped for the numerous different ways to teach. There is no cure-all method of teaching that works on everyone. You have to celebrate the individual and adjust yourself and your teaching style(s) to accommodate as many students as possible. You are your best resource for this information: think back to all the different teachers you have ever had and all of their wacky, crazy, and sometimes useful tactics to make you remember the information present. Think back to what worked and what did not work for you. But remember that just because one method did not work well for yourself does not mean it will not work for some other student in the future. Think of all of these styles as ammunition to your bag of tricks.
How can someone learn more teaching styles that they never experienced themselves? Is there a kind of “teaching cheat sheet”?
