I teach 180-225, depending on the day.

I teach 200 minutes per day for the school.

I also teach 120 minutes on the side for 50K/60 minutes.

Total of 320 minutes per day.

Average 240 minutes (320 MWF and 120 TTh) + about 170 minutes of in-school prep + some at home.

The average over the weeks is 176 minutes.

shortest day is 120
Longest day is 200

Leaves me lots of time for prep.

This is standard for public schools gigs btw.

My first year at the typical "30 hours/week" hogwan was 300 a day.

Life's much better now.

240 minutes per day for me at my hagwon
960 minutes per week (Fridays off)

Compared to my last position which was for stretches of months Monday to Saturday and I worked 1800+ minutes per week!

No wonder I'm not tired much these days.

And I make a bit more money now.

But I enjoyed my last job more.

12 classes x 25 min/class. Which equals: 300 minutes or 5 hours. I get 5 minute breaks in between all the little 25 minute classes.

That would depend on what the OP meant by 'teaching'. Is helping a student with an assignment at lunch teaching? Is sitting the back of a classroom watching a DVD with a student teaching?

240 minutes a day, five days a week. It's crammed into 3;20pm until 7;55pm. So the break time is like five minutes. I stand all 'day' since the classes are big. It's a hagwon with big classes (up to 25 kids) but there's a Korean teacher in the back who's a 'watcher'.

180 monday
180 tuesday
135 wednesday
180 thursday
135 friday

= 810 minutes or 13.5 contact hours.

I do however have kids stop by my desk all day long to get help with stuff.
