Autodidact is a person who learns using own methods and is also called a self-learner. Autodidacts learn in their own way rather than being taught in a school environment with rules, agendas and direction. They are directing their own education process including time, place, material, basically anything, however, the material and techniques they use to learn could be similar but are not directed by any third person in form of a teacher, professor or an institution.
