Season 4 | Episode 9

As real as it gets: TEFL in Los Angeles

Imagine your first ever teaching experience was in a purpose-built Korean village, where everything was in English. Even if you’ve worked on film or TV sets, or in the entertainment industry in some form, it’d be quite a jarring experience.

Well, that’s what happened to Angie White, our next guest, who decided to explore the world of TEFL teaching after some time working in Hollywood. Our second on-location interview in LA, we discuss first lesson nerves, exploring cultural and family heritage, and what makes a great teacher.

About Angie White

Angie White realised that teaching English was for her when she worked in a purpose-built, full-immersion Korean village, where only the English language was used. Quite the shock for both a student and teacher, sure, but it was a great environment for Angie, who’d worked in the entertainment industry but was keen to use her natural gift for teaching.

Now, she’s based in Los Angeles, helping to introduce the next generation of teaching talent, with plenty of experience and opinions about what makes a good teacher great, and a great teacher brilliant.
