A qualified non native English teacher is as good as a qualified native English teacher.

There are thousands of non-native English speakers teaching English in schools in different parts of the globe. 

Actually teaching English and speaking English are two different things. Every native English speaker can't teach but a non native with proper skills and qualifications can perform better.

Of course a non-native speaker can, always with good credentials to teach. Sometimes those are the better teachers or apply more effectively the practice with students.
