How can you build upon your strengths while improving upon your weaknesses to maximize your learning ability?

I am not quite sure what you mean about a visual learner. However, no matter what the learning process may be, it is just exactly that.

Your strengths will always be there to help you overcome whatever you may think are your weaknesses and understand what they are. Always be intrigued by what you don't know. Ask yourself questions. Whatever piques your interest, delve into it and find out what it's all about.

All in all, never be afraid of something "new" that you may not quite understand. Learning ability begins with using your strength to maximize what you may be perceive as a weakness. As you get older, you will find that it never hurts to learn something new every day. Always stay interested.
