You should think twice about this. Spelling ‘pursue’ incorrectly is a warning sign that you might lack the necessary attention to detail for teaching.

A typo doesn’t necessarily mean someone can’t teach effectively. This is not an academic setting, and not every subject focuses on spelling and grammar.

Repeating a spelling mistake isn’t just a typo. Here’s a discussion about whether teachers need to be good spellers:
Many argue that spelling is crucial for maintaining credibility, especially in educational settings.<<
@MysteryMaverick
It’s possible to make the same typo more than once. The link you shared also mentions that teaching skills can outweigh spelling abilities in many cases, especially outside of language-focused classes.
Being good at spelling is helpful, but it’s not the most critical skill in teaching.
Take some introductory education courses and volunteer at schools to observe different teaching styles. Teaching is a demanding career that requires constant learning and development. It’s far from the glorified portrayal in media.
You could consider starting with homeschooling, setting up a microschool, or forming a homeschool coop. These are all ways to begin teaching on a smaller scale.
Review your school’s policies available online. These will outline the competencies you need to develop.
