Khaled, Khaled, Khaled.... just because someone is a native speaker doesn�t mean they teach English as a foreign language. Do you know how many Native speakers are bilingual? Spanish is spoken very widely in the USA too, just for starters! What is the difference between ESL & EFL teachers? It�s the environment they find themselves teaching in, not the teacher�s origin.
Really, please calm down a little.
When it comes down to students/teachers/whoever on this site I know the discussion has happened before. This site is for teachers: �the website where English Language teachers exchange resources� so it�s not really a place solely for students. I do understand that anyone can be a teacher - it all depends on what you are doing. You can teach friends & family as easily as being a professional. Is she a student studying to be a teacher? If so, even better!
Spagman was right - patience is a virtue & the vast majority here have never advertised their worksheets & PowerPoints. There have been many discussions about (& several attacks on) people who do. It should be written as a rule, rather than being an unwritten agreement - it would make it a lot fairer for new members & hopefully less confrontational.
I haven�t looked at rose�s worksheets yet - I�m sure they�re good & useful (otherwise why would you recommend them?). I�m also sure they�ll improve as she gains experience.
Kind regards,
AB
