The Python package teareduce has been developed to support teaching activities related to the reduction of astronomical data. Specifically, it serves as instructional material for students participating in practical classes on the processing of astronomical images acquired with various instruments and telescopes. These classes are part of the course Experimental Techniques in Astrophysics, which belongs to the Master's Degree in Astrophysics at the Complutense University of Madrid. The code is publicly available on GitHub, accompanied by a documentation page that includes Jupyter notebooks demonstrating the use of its various classes and functions.
