NOTE:  Applications are no longer being accepted for the 2010-2011 academic year. 

The MICEFA has a privileged relationship with the French Ministry of Education where we have up to 40 Teaching Assistant positions reserved for our students to teach in schools in the Parisian region. The assistants are placed in French primary or secondary schools and have direct contact with French teaching professionals and students.

Assistantships are for the academic year. Students coming for only one semester are not eligible to apply.

T.A.s are expected to teach 12 hours of English conversation classes per week and are paid a stipend of about 900 € each month. This means that after taxes, social security and health care are taken out, they will have about 750 € a month to live on. The stipend provides enough money to live the life style of a typical French student.
