Ms. Webster's
English Teaching Website
Welcome!
Hello to all students, parents and present and future educators. We should get to know each other a bit!
My name is Sydney Webster and I hold a bachelor's degree from Western Michigan University to teach English for Secondary Education. I enjoy writing and reading new books and painting in my free time! When I'm not preparing for lessons and grading papers I'm spending time with my dog Milo. I drove across the state to pick him up the first year I was in college and we've been inseparable ever since. I love helping others and frequently volunteer within my community to give back and I love to try and help my students out as much as I can. If there is anything I can do to make your learning experience more efficient for you and your individual learning style contact me! Never hesitate to reach out, I am here to help my students! You can contact me at the bottom of the page.
