Depending on the level needed, English, history. I could possibly stretch to geography, basic religious tenets sort of RE (dunno how it's taught here), primary school maths if you're desperate. Or DIY at home science experiments (primary school only). |

"music for me... would be good to get the instruments out from the cupboard they're locked away in!
What do you play?"
mainly guitar and piano, but dabble a bit with drums and a few other bits and bobs too. not sure why I got out of the habit of playing... fell out of love with it over lockdown I guess! |

That's a shame.
Maybe time to dust them off. |

I'd have to Google the specifics, but my mum got a science degree and we did lots of stuff. Watching markers break up into different colours on special paper in water, (safe, messy) chemical reactions. Explain gravity by using a marble, experiment with angles and friction. I won a science experiment with the latter.
I can make cupcakes and I'm sure (I'd have to Google the facts first, lol) I could reasonably explain how that's a chemical reaction caused by heat. |

"English literature, history and horticulture. Not that there's any demand for horticulture.
I think there is.
It is taught a bit in some schools. "
Not in winter! |

The thing I think is missing in education is how to rely on no one . |

Oh jesus. Erm.....
I'd be more of a mentor in the 'personal development' area.
I'd have the discussions other people didn't want to cover with a full on "ask me anything" vibe going on throughout.

Not got a specific subject or a talent that I’m good at but I could read books to them then watch the corresponding movie and compare the difference or outdoor learning to show them how to enjoy the freedom of outside play with no electronics  |

If I had kids, I'd ask you for full time tutoring, just easy on the old "C" word  |

Excellent
For entertainment I can also make things out of balloons.
That'll cost a malted milk and a brew. |

Well the deal is sealed.
Right, now I just need to get a couple kids, we'll speak again in say, around 6 years? |

For me it would have to be art and business studies. Mr would be able to cover maths, biology, chemistry and history.
We need language and geography teachers to help, we are omitting RE from our curriculum. |

"I’m pretty
Good at math and most science type stuff so I think I could do a lesson in sciemaths for them.
"
That sounds cool but you are aware that being pretty isn't actually a skill right? |

For me, it would be IT because I work in the industry.
I would like to do history as well as I loved it at school and I'm probably still young enough to remember what I was taught  |
