Anyone working for Nova have any advice concerning the 34 or 37 classes a week? I'm leaning toward 37 because of the extra cash. Any opinions?

Do the 37 for the extra bit of cash. It can't hurt. If you're burned out from sitting in the fishbowl an extra 3 lessons/week, you can probably change your contract to 34.

So, that's 26 hours a week, of 50 minute lessons? Is that how you work it out?

Yeah, just worked it out on my calculator Very Happy

So, Berlitz is 40 lessons per week, vs. 37 for Nova. Berlitz is 250,000, what is NOVA?
