Human senses are natural contributions which transform the information to the brain for further processing to understand what is being presented to an individual through sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste. Senses will also determine the understanding of the different concept being presented and recall those contents or information for the right situation for the right action. To help the individual learner, teachers in various educational institutions should understand and apply the Multi-Sensory Approach in presenting their teaching contents in a classroom teaching to reach out the uniqueness of the individual learner’s learning style and bring the best academic excellence.
