English language is not a meal, it is just a tool.
Just a thought.
I've noticed new tendency.
Two years ago people including your obedient servant booked lessons of "real" native speakers (UK, US) massively. It was affordable.
Now after the dollar exchange rate has doubled people either stopped booking (e.g. me) real native speakers' lessons or (sic!) began to book lessons of non-native speakers who has a good enough level of English.
My experience of booking lessons on Italki has revealed me an interesting fact. In average ESL teachers are more friendly, more diligent, eager in teaching than UK/US native speakers.

My idea is that, 1st of all it depends on the personality of the teacher, his/her qualification (not all native speakers are teachers, you know) and finally her/his actual situation. And yes it's also a market place where the demand for the native speakers is higher than for those who've learnt the language.
