Hence all the google is your friend replies.

You do seem to have a very specific view of the teacher you want - you can only search and try to find the best match for yourself.

kNOWLEDGE IS NOT FREE...
sorry caps lock--- its wrong thinking to think knowledge is free, a kind teacher may help you, but if you think/tell a teacher his long hard years of seeking and learning should be given to you for free, that's very much the wrong idea and it could limit your progress.

Its almost as if they are finding a way to take you from you money. Instead of offering you a certain service for a certain amount of money.
