Patrick Smith: From Teacher to famous TikTok-er in Tokyo

Patrick Smith is an American, based in Tokyo, Japan who has been living a double life. That's right! By day, Patrick has been a humble, genuinely enthusiastic English teacher for over nine years now. By night, he has recently amassed nearly one million followers on TikTok, where he posts lighthearted skits about life in the classroom, and life in Japan.

His online presence is exploding, and rightfully so. His posts are hilarious and totally relatable for anyone who's ever taught English anywhere in the world.

This is a story of how a kid from the Midwest not particularly great at or interested in school, grabbed hold of an opportunity to move to China after college, and now works as a passionate teacher in Tokyo and an ambassador for expats everywhere.
