Just because someone is a "native English speaker" doesn't mean they have perfect English. My English isn't perfect, and I've been using it for over 47 years. I don't know anyone with perfect written or spoken English. The best EFL teacher I have ever met is from Yugoslavia, she taught me how to teach EFL, and I thank her for it.

Just because someone has a degree, doesn't mean they are educated, most education starts after you leave school or college. You can not learn experience, you learn from it.

As a recruiter in Thailand, may I suggest that if you want native English speaking teachers you test their English prior to giving them a job offer.
