Q: Legal Advice Needed

Hello, I am an English teacher and currently working for a company. This company considers me as a provider of professional services, which means that I understand I do not enjoy the same privileges as any other employee with a completely different contract. However, the language company I work for offers services to other companies by providing them with a teacher for their classes, and that's where I come in. They send me to a different company every quarter, but I do have social security benefits through my work because the company requested it. My situation has me confused, and I would like to understand certain things such as taxes and social security. They pay me through bank transfers, and usually, there are two transfers to pay me. Please help! I don't want any problems with the Tax Administration Service (SAT).
