Teaching (post PhD) - how much?

A

Hi all,

I'm coming to the end of my PhD in the next month all being well and am looking to get some teaching work for next term. I have put some feelers out and generated a bit of interest. My question is, while being free to teach tutorials full time, (and preparing for viva and poss. trying to publish) how much work should I accept (if it comes to that lol!) I know what I need money wise, taking into consideration Christmas holidays etc but am unsure as to how much would be too much? I want to prepare well and get lots of experience, the ideal being a larger classes:subject ratio.

Any thoughts?
Many thanks
