Comments:

Your regular pay of 2.3 million per month is 27.6 million for the year. Math error or typo but it should be fixed.

You should have a clause that holidays and vacation days will be counted as if they had been worked when computing overtime. If they pay overtime "when the instructor teaches more than 24 hours a week" you will pay for your own holidays and vacations with unpaid overtime. This happens to many teachers who never even notice.


For me, living 30 minutes from the school is too far. I hate the time and expense of commuting. A 10 minute walk is enough. Your personal choice here.


There seems to be a lot of bad English. I would rewrite the contract to clean it up.
