So, one that teachers use. When I was getting my teaching degree in the mid-10s teacherspayteachers was frequently brought up as a "great resource" for material in our classes. Plenty of us used it.
Additionally, I forget the term, but when I got out of teaching combining subjects was starting to be a thing that was 'heavily encouraged' if not required. So, if i was teaching history I had to incorporate math somewhere, or English, maybe Art.
That's a good thought. I'm not and never was a teacher but I regularly help a couple of my cousins (one who is homeschooled) with their high school level math stuff. Started on a whim since I've been through most levels of college math and liked math and their parents weren't good at all. Turned out I was actually good at teaching it. It's actually kinda fun too, it's not like we don't get some chitchat in too so it's a good way to build relationship with family and try to be a good influence.
That's a good idea, I'm very much of the belief you have to truly understand something to teach it well, because that's the only way you can ever understand the questions they are asking. I'm also the engineer/mathematician so well there's that. Not a parent though, so I'd be ruled out there. Dealing with a whole class at once would definitely be playing to my weaknesses anyway.
The younger of the two cousins is the one that goes to public school and she picks up things so much more easily when it can be applied to something. I'm convinced her teachers don't really understand what they are teaching and just regurgitating from a book. They mess with her confidence too as they pinned her as the stupid kid and treat as such. I worked at schools back in my early 20s and learned really quick how teachers are. A huge chunk of them are egotistical, heavy on favoritism, and gossip worse than a clique of teenage girls.
I let people I know about the schools, how bad they are, let them know about the woke nonsense. I'm still finishing up law school and work full-time too so not really any time for me to tutor or anything like that. Definitely would love to home-school whenever I end up having kids but who knows when that'll be! 🤣

I'm glad I'm out of that field.
