When he was in his late twenties, Huxley acquired a position at Eton College in Berkshire, where he taught French for a year. He was reportedly a nervous and incompetent teacher who had little to no authority over his students. One of his students was Eric Arthur Blair, who later took on the pen name George Orwell and also became one of the most influential writers of the 20th century.

Orwell, who was greatly inspired by Huxley’s works, said that Huxley was not a good teacher but was a brilliant speaker and had extensive knowledge of French.

Orwell and Huxley remained friends and respected each other for the rest of their lives.
