Who shall teach you English?

Okay, so I want to make some new notices advertising my services as a private teacher of English as a foreign language around Barcelona. I've already created a couple of different styles aimed at different types of potential student.

I've noticed advertisments from a private tutor that use a picture of pants-on-head Blackadder 4 along with the slogan "Is school driving you crazy?" (Pants-on-head Blackadder seems to enjoy surprisingly good recognition.)

I would like to employ a familiar pop-cultural icon in a similar way, although I'd like something a little less cuh-rayy-zee. My preferred icon would be:

1)Someone English, since that's rather my USP
2)Someone you'd want to teach you English (if, y'know, you didn't already speak it).
3)Female. (A plus, rather than a dealbreaker).

If you were a Barcelonino in search of teachy goodness, who might float your boat?

Damn. Was just about to suggest John Cleese. How about international mime superstar Mr. Bean?

How about an image incorporating Queen Victoria and Siouxie Sioux (circa 1979)... like a fumetti cartoon, with the two of them talking to each other?

Both ladies, both English.
