resilient to learning. Is this wording correct or make any sense?

Welcome to UsingEnglish.com, tom3!

I fail to make sense of your phrase according to the definitions on http://www.thefreedictionary.com/resilient
Does 'resilient' have other meanings?

I am not a teacher.

Welcome to the forum, tom3.

Please put the phrase into a complete sentence to give us an idea of what you want it to mean.

Start every sentence with a capital letter.

For someone who is going to be a teacher you are particularly resilient to learning.

 

[Rover_KE]

Thank you, but this doesn't tell us what you want it to mean.

Is it your own sentence or did perhaps your teacher write it on your school report?

 

[tom3]

I just need to know if the sentence I wrote makes sense. Can the phrase resilient to learning be used in a sentence at all?

Can the phrase "resilient to learning" be used in a sentence at all? Why or why not?

Resilience seems to be the wrong word. It does, however, have the general feel of pliability -- only, it has a more negative sense of resistive tension.

For a more positive sense of pliability, you might want try amenable, adaptable or receptive.

'Resistant' would make more sense.
