Any experience or contact with this school in Paris?
They appear to have a solid management structure and good working environment.

I've taught in Spain for about a 6 months, so I can swap suggestions, if you like!

Let me know what you may think about this pay?, 1.800 euros/month- serious contract - according to all French regulations. What do you think?

I haven't heard of them but 1800 euros a month sounds better than average for a language school in Paris. After you talk with them, will you post your impressions?

1800 euros pcm sounds almost too good to be true. You'd have to teach in the state sector for 7 or 8 years before you could expect to earn that. How many hours does it involve?

the amount discussed is for senior returning teachers doing max hours - not typical

And the maximum is how many hours? How often can you reasonably be expected to be offered max hours? And is the teaching "on site" or do you have to do a lot of travelling?

Perhaps...may I suggest a bit of co-op research that may facilitate this thread - your q's? I will update as I have specific and meaningful detail.

LOLwhites, what has your exp. been like? Lot's of q's, but little context to your inquisition...please contribute anything that may be helpful. Thanks!

I haven't actually worked for these people, which is why I'm asking all this stuff. Basically I'm trying to establish what you have to do to earn 1800 euros pcm; it seems quite a lot but if you have to work yourself into the ground and have no time for yourself, it still wouldn't be worth it IMO.
