Sun Lee - 8th Grade Mathematics / Finance
Hi, I’m Mr. Lee! This is my third year teaching at Slocum Middle School, where I get to work with 8th graders in both Math and Finance. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Environmental Business and Economics from Rutgers University, along with my K–8 Math Teaching Certificate.
In my classroom, I like to make learning fun, practical, and connected to real life. Whether we’re working on math problems or talking about money skills, I want students to see how what they’re learning can help them now and in the future. My teaching philosophy is to build a positive classroom where everyone feels comfortable asking questions and challenging themselves.
What I love most about teaching 8th grade is seeing students grow more independent and confident as they get ready for high school.
When I’m not teaching, I enjoy traveling and exploring new cultures—it’s one of my favorite ways to learn and bring fresh ideas back into the classroom!
