Language Arts Mentor Program (LAMP) - Online Tutoring

Dave Myers has been an English and PE teacher in northeast Michigan for the past 30 years after graduating from Central Michigan University with both his BS and Master’s degree in education. He has worked with students ranging from middle school to college bound seniors in high school. He specialized in AP Literature, American Literature, College Prep Writing, and the study of grammar. During that time, he and his wife, Jen, raised four children who were all homeschooled until they went to high school. He has worked with public school, homeschool, and online students over the course of his career.

In addition to teaching English and PE, Dave is a published author. He is recognized throughout the Midwest as an avid outdoors’ writer for online sources, magazines, and newspapers. In addition to the outdoors’ writing, Dave has spoken as a motivational speaker at men’s conferences, as well as being a featured guest on several sportsmen’s radio programs.  While teaching, Dave also served as a baseball coach for 23 years. During his time as coach, over 40 of his players went on to play collegiately on scholarship and work towards their degrees.

Traveling and backpacking into remote rugged wilderness are additional passions. Hiking in the Canadian Rockies and territory in British Columbia, the Yukon, and Alaska are all highlights.  His wide array of interests in the classroom and outside the classroom give him a wealth of experience to rely upon when relating to and teaching young people today. His stories and experiences, woven together with classroom materials and discussions create an engaging online tutoring environment for students to learn in.
