I'm not sure what your definition of a "good employer" is - given that the private EFL market in the UK is basically £250 p.w. for a 25 hour teaching week (plus prep and marking), no pension scheme and short term contracts, I'd say they were all pretty shoody employers. I suggest you at least concentrate on established names and avoid the dodgy cowboy outfits. Finally, unless you already have somewhere to stay I would avoid London as the cost of living is much higher but there's no "London weighting" in the pay. If you go somewhere else you might actually get to hang on to some of your money after the summer.
