Native teachers are instructors who come from countries where English is the official and first language. These typically include the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
They are often selected by students who want to experience “real, natural English” because of their authentic pronunciation, natural use of expressions, cultural fluency, and the ability to speak at a native speed.
