I write and train for Skiller Whale (skillerwhale.com) who train teams of software developers on React, Go, Typescript & PostgreSQL (with lots of other curriculums in development).

We're always looking for experienced software developers who are personable and can go deep into a topic with learners, work through exercises, help them correct mistakes and so on. It's 1-2 hours of well-paid work per session:

(Warning you do have to prepare each session quite well - it's much harder to teach something that you know as a working programmer than as a teacher, because you're probably not used to saying what you know out loud!)

But if you know the topic and like helping other software devs it might be exactly the kind of short-term you're looking for.

Happy to answer any questions here, and I'd probably be involved in an interview session too.

What other topics are you guys planning? I'm a part-time CS professor who is always looking to supplement his income..

Looking at your site, I realise I'd forgotten to mention we do lots of Python & Python-adjacent stuff (though we're only recruiting trainers at the moment). But if that's your bread & butter, drop me an email and I'll introduce you to our CTO.
I am looking for some part time work. I have a good amount of TS experience in different contexts -- can I get in touch with you all?
Please do! If the long form doesn't fit your expertise just email matthew@skillerwhale.com and I'll pass you along to the right person.
