How is the polite way to interrupt a teacher?
I want to ask a permission to a teacher who is teaching in his class to give a presentation. I will interrupt him during his class to share about my presentation. But I am not his student. Can I say like this :
Excuse me, Sir. May I have your time about 5 minutes to present the seminar about reformation day?
Or is there any suggestion?

Your tone should be quite polite and respectful, if you would say, "excuse me sir really sorry to interrupt you but would you please give me a chance to represent my representation, I hope you would appreciate it if it made sense to you"

yes I think your sentence is good and very polite
except there are some errors:
..may I have about 5 minutes of your class time to present this information about Reformation Day?
a seminar is a very long event , not just a few minutes.

At the appropriate moment, use a phrase such as,
"I hate to cut you off, but ..." or "Excuse me, but I just thought of something to add."
Other suitable phrases to use include,
"Pardon me, but ..." and "Do you mind if I jump in here?"
