Working at Fusion Academy as their higher-level mathematics and physics teacher and with their model of teaching one-on-one, I gained valuable professional experience working with both the extremely high functioning as well as many types of special needs.  I love working with people on the extreme spectrum of learning capacity.  I enjoy the process of assessing what component of mathematical material somebody is missing and figuring out a way to reach that individual to give understanding.  For me, I find great joy in teaching.
