David Terreiros
French Teacher
Bonjour à tous ! Je m'appelle David.
I was born in France, in a city called Saint-Germain-En-Laye, the birthplace of King Louis XIV. And yes, there is a castle there but smaller than Versailles!
My father is Portuguese and my mother is Spanish. I was very lucky during my childhood to be able to travel in Europe and speak foreign languages on summer holidays. Now I am quadrilingual!
After 10 years of experience in digital marketing in France, I discovered the profession of French teacher during my 3 years in Australia. It was an obvious career change for me, who has always loved languages.
I arrived in Houston in 2024 and embraced American culture! Although challenging, it's always exciting to discover a new way of life and it is no small thing to say that Americans and French people do not live in the same way, especially in Texas where everything is big!
You'll learn this soon enough but I'm very talkative, but also patient and organized, which I think are necessary qualities to be a Teacher.
My motto for improving your French? To learn while having fun in a friendly atmosphere.
Of course the French language is beautiful but sometimes it's difficult with many exceptions. My advice? Don't be ashamed if you make mistakes, trying always ends up succeeding!
Besides my passion for France, I have another one: board games! I love spending quality time with my friends and family around a table and having fun together (even if in the end I still want to win haha).
A bientôt et vive la France !
