David Lummus
David has over twenty years of experience teaching Latin, Italian, and English literature and language at various levels, from middle school to university. He graduated summa cum laude in Classics and Italian with minors in history and philosophy from the University of Texas and held a Fulbright Full Grant in Italy before earning his Ph.D. in Italian at Stanford University. He taught the humanities, Italian literature, and analytical writing at Yale, Stanford, and Notre Dame and is currently working as a teacher, translator, and writer between Houston, Texas and Rome, Italy. He started tutoring Latin in college and enjoyed seeing students gain greater confidence with the language and with English as well. He has also taught English as a Second Language in Italy on a one-on-one basis to young adults and business professionals. More recently he has worked with students in small groups and individually on improving their Italian, Latin, and English writing, as well as studying for tests.
