You could perhaps wait until just before you are due to take a class,
and then tell them that you will not be able to take the class after
all as you have just discovered that your professional insurance does
not cover you when undertaking unpaid teaching work.
Or write to the parents of the students explaining that your school is
no longer willing to pay you for teaching, and ask the parents for a
fee to cover your professional costs.
