How do you explain the concept that learning is individual?

Each person will interpret a piece of information according to their level of understanding and their own way of interpreting things. When I studied the Dilpoma in Business papers some tutors encouraged us to put our own interpretation to questions in exams as long as we stuck to the original subject.There is a saying that no two people think exactly alike. This can be considered true and if it is then each person will learn in their own way and at their own pace.
