What are some platforms you can use to find students? I'm an adult who's played for 2 years with some previous keyboard experience and recently my lessons ended because of COVID. I was kind of looking for a new teacher anyway because I wanted to move into more of a classical direction and build up to play stuff like Debussy and Gershwin and my teacher was more general. I like a lot of soundtrack music as well and my teacher just didn't get that. Anyway I was looking on takelessons.com but it doesn't seem like that great of a place, so many options and everything just says "piano teacher".

I bet there are piano teachers in your local area who are teaching online. You can search on Google maps or, if you're in the USA, get in touch with the local chapter of Music Teachers National Association (https://www.mtna.org/).
I decided it's been FAR too long since I've taught piano lessons, so if you know anyone who is looking for a piano teacher in Denver, please send them my way!! :)

Are you in the local chapter of the MTNA out there? Our local chapter is very supportive. There is a website with our members listed to help get referrals. Perhaps that can help you get started again. http://www.mtna.org/
