Python dictionaries create a function named stats .... returns list of lists

here is my code:

def stats(t_d):
   master_list = []
   sub_list = []
   count = 0
  for key, value in t_d.items():
    for num in value:
      count+=1
    sub_list = [key, count]
    master_list.append(sub_list)
  return master_list

here is the message I'm getting: Bummer! didn't get the expected output. Got [[Andrew Chalky, 4], [Dave MacFarland, 5],[Kenneth Love, 7]] (etc.)

How can I fix?

actually, more to the point; what did I do wrong? I have a list of lists with teacher name and number of classes, like the exercise asks for

oh I think I know what the problem is, its counting every word in the classes given as its own class, but some classes have more than one word in them...
