Cool! Looking at the English instructors, it appears that the two you have are from the UK and South Africa. Although English was their first language according to their respective bios, my understanding is that people wanting to learn English place a premium on learning "American" English.

Perhaps consider bringing someone on board from the United States who has a non-regional dialect?

That's a great point and we are currently in the process of recruiting for "American" English and expect to bring on some new people real soon - thanks for the suggestion!
