The evidence base for learning styles is very weak [1]. It's fashionable in schools and teacher training to deride them as a neuromyth. You can make a slightly different argument: that different things are taught better in different ways; or having the same concept explained in multiple different ways helps everyone learn; or that we all have learning preferences which make us feel comfortable. The link between teachers accommodating learning styles in classrooms and improved student outcomes is very tenuous.
