I don't quite remember who asked the question, but I would say that except for
very exceptional cases, a native speaker should teach native speakers! With no
offense to Hebrew or "other" lnaguage speakers, even the best, seem to miss up
on the intricate nuances...make mistakes with prepositions and idioms. And
truthfully, I would never agree to teach a class of native Hebrew speakers if I
were in a similar situation abroad! (not that I don't correct my pupils' Hebrew
these days....hmmmm.)
