I find, through personal experience, that the most important way to teach differently to students is to build upon what each student already knows & their interests outside of the subject. For example, a student who loves football might learn math better by creating games that incorporate popular players' & teams' stats. It is more likely to keep them interested which seems to be at least half the battle. It also shows them how learning this is useful in an area they're already interested in. A minor benefit, if you can truly create unique content for each student, you make cheating more difficult. Through individualized content, students can also progress at their own rate. I find these methods of learning to be much more important than classifying things as "visual" or some other method. This was always my understanding of why it is important for students to be taught in different ways.
