I have loved loved LOVED my last two teachers. I have no idea if they would work out for you or not. You'd just have to give them a try and find out. That's fine if you are paying by the hour for lessons. If you are locked in for a semester or a school year, then you are in real trouble.
My advice, find someone who accompanies lessons at the above mentioned schools. More than one if possible. If they just give yes or no for teachers (although frankly some teachers are just a flat out no) that's not useful. But some advice about what kinds of voices or what kinds of personalities seem to work well with various teachers is useful. After that you will have to meet with them. You need to know that they know what they are doing (hear some of their students before making a choice) but you also have to click with them which is a highly subjective thing.
