Lisa has 168-21 = <<168-21=147>>147 hours left in a week.
The two classes take 4*2 = <<4*2=8>>8 hours.
Lisa sleeps 8*7 = <<8*7=56>>56 hours in a week.
So, she has 147-8-56 = <<147-8-56=83>>83 hours left to work, sleep or do anything else.
Therefore, Lisa can work at most 83 hours each week. Answer: \boxed{83}.
