Ask HN: How to get into teaching?

I have always been interested in sharing knowledge and helping people learn new things.

When I was in school, I organized a semester-long workshop to teach 12 year-olds Scratch, and it went really well, with super cool projects and bunch of kids getting a first taste of programming.

When I was in uni, I constantly held workshops to teach things like: Git, practical Linux commands, Wordpress developpement, etc..

When I started working as a SWE, I enjoyed having regular workshops, teaching people about tools, frameworks and languages that I thought were too interesting to keep for myself.

Needless to say; I enjoy it. And I'm starting to think I want to teach in a more structured and "official" way. However, I have no idea how to get into the teaching world. Maybe just 1 or 2 classes per-week while keeping my main activity as SWE.

I checked around my area for private-schools, bootcamps, etc...

They don't seem to have a career page for this kind of positions. So I'm wondering if anyone here have done a similar thing? And how did you get your foot in the door?
