I am not informed about them but I keep myself up-to-date and have enough knowledge to debate with different people. I have always been saying stuff about Francis Braganzia, Rob Sowerby, Martin Jones etc. who would never be coming to M'sia and they are really some awesome lecturers.
I didn't say that local lecturers are nothing rather my point was that how can you compare the local non-native English speakers with the Natives and then saying that locals are better!!!!! I know many of the M'sians prefer the local lecturers because of their accent which is easier to understand. As regards to scoring better and having a better pass rate, this is nothing to praise them since passing is all the effort of the student. The lecturer can just make the topic easier to understand.
Firstly, I don't agree with you that UK lecturers have lower pass rates as compared to the local ones. But just assume it is, then the reason behind it is that many people here find it difficult to understand the UK accent. I have done some research and I have got to know that students,in schools, are taught the American Accent and that vary quite a lot and many students aren't even good in English and are used to BROKEN English.
Well if Spencer was that great, then he shouldn't have been ignoring questions asked by my friend so I highly doubt his qualities. Rather I would love to give the example of Joey Wong here,under whom I studied F8. He marked more than 50 answers I did and submitted to him every week. He never said that he is busy or anything. He answered all the questions I asked in class and some of them were kinda silly as well. He NEVER ignored!!! Then why did Spencer?
Okay do me a favor, take one of your local lecturer, lets take Spencer since everyone is in LOVE with him and do a simple comparison of his performance in F9 with Elliot Betts and conclude who is better!

I been under him for a short while for P5 and I find him good. He speaks good English, he can relate what he is teaching with some of his real life experience, he provides mind maps of key words and teaches us how to elaborate using his mind map which makes it super easy to study, he DOES take questions from students, he focuses on the theory part rather than calculation (unlike other certain lecturers) which is important for P5 and in his class, time feels like it just flies. Many of my classmates felt that he is good as well.

My friend was in the same situation. He took P2 and failed F7. Then he took them both together, and passed P2 while failing F7 again. Yes there is some overlap in F7 and P2 but I never felt that F7 is essential knowledge for P2.
