Working at Brown’s English was an absolute pleasure. The bosses were kind, understanding, and genuinely cared about their staff. The supportive atmosphere and regular opportunities for socialising created a strong sense of community and made it an enjoyable and rewarding place to work. It’s a workplace I’ll always look back on with real appreciation.

I feel lucky to be part of the Browns English family. They trust me to run classes the way that works best for the kids (and adults), and are very supportive and attentive to my needs in and outside of the classroom. I've been a teacher here for over six years, and I can't imagine working anywhere else!

I enjoyed working at Brown’s English for the past 2 years. It was a very good experience that I look fondly back on. Working at Brown’s English, I was supported by the employers and by Japanese staff members. The students were also respectful towards me, and we had a lot of fun together. The primary focus of my work was to enjoy learning languages so there wasn’t pressure to achieve high grades, and study hard but to assist them in their learning journey. I would highly recommend working at Brown’s English.
