This is just my 3rd year in tech & 2nd year in Software Development (that means I'm still learning some advanced skills) but I've been told asked by my Head of Department to lecture Python next academic year (because he thinks I'm so good at it) and I'm still a student.

How do I balance things because I really want to become a software developer and I don't want lecturing to take my time away..?

Also do you have any tips on how I can deliver effective lecture..?

    I remember doing that both just at the same time. But one thing to note, is to balance working hours/days.

    Obviously you can't work for 5 days a week in both at the same time

    Just say no. 'Thanks for the offer but it is not the path I see myself walking professionally '

    It is okay to refuse offers. Especially when you yourself have other plans in mind and your heart is somewhere else.

    @thebiochemic balancing things really does sound easy to me but my schedule board says different

    @NeatNerdPrime saying 'no' has been ringing through my head after I gave a deep thought about it but on the other hand, I see it as a chance to spread knowledge.

    I passed through that stage & we weren't taught what we expected so now that I have been given the opportunity to change that, why shouldn't I..?

    (also, I'll get paid 😉)

    @AceDev seems you made up your mind. May you live long and prosper.

    Sounds like a cool opportunity and a very rewarding experience if you go through with it.
    A good approach if you’re nervous is to make it clear to your students that you’ll probably be learning just as much from them than them from you.
