Since I identify as agender, I was wondering what non gender specific title I can have people and kids address me by? This is going to be an issue when I start teaching and if my tutoring side business works out.

I'd suggest keeping it simple - it could be awkward for people to use such different words. Also, status matters. Intelligent children will not take kindly to calling their teacher 'majesty'. That's like proclaiming yourself a god. xd
Anyways, Mx. (pronounced 'mix') is a legitimate neutral title in the UK, and for more colloquial language, you could use 'fam' or 'sib'.
I've gotten younger kids to call me 'senpai', but I don't even speak Japanese, so that was extremely pretentious and culturally inappropriate... We all judge by appearances, so I know I'm probably going to get 'sir'. It's gotten quite amusing to have so many titles mrgreen
PS: How do you feel about casual masculine pronouns? Because I call everyone 'bro' regardless of gender.

I use bro as gender neutral term too so I don't mind.
I do not like "mx" as it infers from a phonetic standpoint that my gender is "mixed" when I identify as neither feminine or masculine. Somebody suggested to use the pronunciation "mex", with me being latinx that would be a big fat no.

I guess it depends on the environment and culture where you plan on working, but in a lot of the public schools and tutoring gigs where I've worked, calling a teacher by their first name is totally fine. My students used to do that; it was more comfortable for all of us!
Saves the trouble of choosing a gendered or awkward honorific!
