Sample answer
“In my role at a beauty academy in Madrid, I had students who were predominantly visual learners while others preferred hands-on practice. I adapted my lessons by incorporating video demonstrations alongside practical workshops. For instance, when teaching about skin analysis techniques, I used a combination of visual aids and live role-play sessions. This approach led to positive feedback from students, many of whom reported feeling more confident in their skills after the course.”
