Self - Study or Learning Solo Today in this blog we will explore another way to learn : self - study. This path involves learning independently, without a teacher or structured curriculum.

Self-study might be suitable if learners are self-motivated, enjoy independent learning, and prefer a flexible approach. Here's a quick look at the upsides and downsides of self - study: Pros: Flexibility: Learners can set their own pace, schedule, and learning environment, focus on the areas that they are most interested. Personalised learning: Individuals can focus on topics that interest them and tailor their learning to their own style. Cost - typically low: Self-study can be cheaper than formal education. Build self-discipline: Learners develop self-motivation and time-management skills.
