Work / Working as a Spanish language teacher in Kraków. Wages, living cost, etc. [5]

Hello everybody,
(Sorry I can't write in Polish, unfortunately, not yet)
I am a Spanish teacher and I am planning to move to Kraków and I would appreciate any information regarding working conditions as a language teacher, mainly in language schools and Universities.

Things like:
1) How is the average wages as a teacher in a language school (in zlotys)?
2) How much money (average) one needs to live in Kraków/Poland?
3)Can you recommend me any school in Kraków? I know some, a have a list with webpages but if you have worked in a good school, fair to employees, would be nice to Know

4) Are teachers normally freelancers or the school hires them and takes care of social security expenses (a mirage in other countries)?
5) How much do teachers charge for private lessons?? (30 zl??40 zl??)
Well, if somebody helps me with this it would be a great start!!
Dziękuję bardzo!!!!
Pa!!

Thank you for your answer!! All info will be helpful!!
I have been teaching in Universities and private languages schools in the States, Hungary, Germany and Spain. I had my own school in Spain but we suffered the crisis allright!!

All this experience I know it doesn't really mean much sometimes, and might be even a drawback. But it is only to give a profile (late 30's, I know age is also sometimes a criteria). I don't know if there are many qualified teachers of Spanish in Kraków, might be.

Thanks again!

Hello again, for personal reasons and interests and would like to move to Kraków, but I am open to change the destination. I will also check the possibilities in Warsaw and other cities, but I would like to give Kraków a chance first. I only hope Kraków gives me a chance too!

Thank you for your tips!!
