After Kirk decided to retire from Starfleet a few years before TWOK, I wonder what it was that brought him back just to teach at the Academy, especially since he found it so miserable.

Was he brought back for some mission and then he just accepted the teaching position because it, at that moment, felt like being closer to the real thing? And after all, he did enjoy being an instructor in his youth (but I believe that was a mandatory period for those in the command path)
