Profile
Mr. English has a staunchly professional appearance, but a terrible memory for names and faces. Ingrid tells him some flattering things about Jeremy Brown, so Mr. English comes to Miss Courtney's school to meet with him and has Sid call him into the canteen. Mr. English almost immediately offers Mr. Brown an EFL teaching position at his school that will pay a starting salary of £5,000, increasing to £7,500 by yearly increments, but warns him that he needs a response by tomorrow. Mr. Brown decides to take the job, but is told when he shows up to Mr. English's school that the position has been filled. When Mr. English comes back to Miss Courtney's school to find Mr. Brown and extend the offer of employment again, the EFL students refer him to Mr. Wilkins, who accepts the offer immediately.

Mr. English's first and middle initials are used only once, when Mr. Brown reads them off of his business card.
