Seb Ariel’s Answer

#1. on the list for teaching is University of California - Los Angeles, CA
4 year college.

If you can attend in-person classes, UCLA is a great school! The student dorms are on the expensive side, but well worth the price. There are several dining halls right next to the dorms that each cater to a different style (ie dine-in, to-go, vegan specialties), as well as a few restaurants on campus and the nearby Westwood Village. The campus itself is gorgeous and you can learn about the history of it from guided tours. If you're looking for a party scene, just cross the street into frat row, and you'll find parties every week. In terms of academics, I will simply say that UCLA is a top school. Most professors are great, but some are only there to do research and are forced to teach a class or two, so look them up before enrolling in their classes. All-in-all, a great school!

Many colleges in California are good. The UCs have good programs, I know Santa Clara U and USC have good teaching program. It might also be helpful to narrow down the topics and age groups that you are interested in teaching.

Michelle’s Answer

UC Davis has a great EDU program and if you would love to relocate to southern California try Long Beach State. Also look within these programs to see if they offer specializations that can highlight the subject your passionate about teaching.
