In most English centres, especially the big ones with a name or with international branches around the world, non-native teachers are not even taken into consideration during recruiting phases. However, there are many fully qualified non-native ESL teachers out there that are eager to show how good they are and can’t wait to guide students through a language journey that will make them proficient learners. With this post, we don’t want to undermine native teachers, but we want to give equal opportunities to passionate teachers, whether they’re native or non-native, because we know that both categories have strengths and weaknesses.
