I wouldn't be in it for the money as I've been around enough to know there isn't any, though because of that I couldn't commit more than one weekday to maintain a lifestyle from my regular job.
I'm very part time, around 30-40 hours of instructing per year. My experience is that the school, or a syndicate who know me, ask me to do something very specific with a student that's within my particular skillset. I then organise it with the student around both our diaries. This seems to be the experience of the other part timers I know.
I've never yet been asked to be "on duty" at particular times.
