After leaving Merton, Eliot worked as a schoolteacher, most notably at [[Highgate School]] in London, where he taught French and Latin: his students included [[John Betjeman]].<ref name=EB/> He subsequently taught at the [[Royal Grammar School, High Wycombe]] in [[Buckinghamshire]]. To earn extra money, he wrote book reviews and lectured at evening extension courses at University College London and Oxford. In 1917, he took a position at [[Lloyds Bank]] in London, working on foreign accounts. On a trip to Paris in August 1920 with the artist [[Wyndham Lewis]], he met the writer [[James Joyce]]. Eliot said he found Joyce arrogant, and Joyce doubted Eliot's ability as a poet at the time, but the two writers soon became friends, with Eliot visiting Joyce whenever he was in Paris.<ref>[[Richard Ellmann|Ellmann, Richard]]. ''James Joyce''. pp. 492–495.</ref> Eliot and Wyndham Lewis also maintained a close friendship, leading to Lewis's later making [[Portrait of T. S. Eliot|his well-known portrait painting of Eliot]] in 1938.

[[Charles Whibley]] recommended T. S. Eliot to [[Geoffrey Faber]].<ref name="RK">{{cite book|last1= Kojecky|first1= Roger|title= T. S.
