if he does teach a class occasionally and if this is ongoing, then it should be treated as self-employed income. You might not consider this a business but he is a contractor in the sense that he does this whenever he is called to teach a class. it's occasional but ongoing and happens more than once.
As a contractor, he is eligible to claim all the expenses that are necessary for his work including materials and supplies.
