Tips for Entry
Volunteer at a community art center to gain experience and exposure.
To be an instructor means that you must continue to learn. One way to accomplish this is to join a photography association, such as the Professional Photographers Association (https://www.ppa.com) or the Society for Photographic Education (https://www.spenational.org).
Consider what type of student you would like to teach: high school, community college, university, or hobbyist. Explore the various settings by visiting lectures at each venue.
