Information About Nasar:


Personal Description:

I am an experienced English teacher who is currently teaching in an inner city school in London. Having taught for most of my adult life, I am confident that I can help students achieve the results that they are looking for, as I have worked with a wide variety of students, both in and out of the classroom. I have a sound understanding of students' needs and how to approach them to engage and inspire the best out of them by delivering interesting and varied lessons using resources that are current and relatable.

I have taught across all levels, including 11+, GCSE, A-level, university, and TEFL.



Teaching Experience:

Kingsdale Foundation School. London . English Teacher

Bristol City Academy, Bristol. English Teacher

Private tutor: I have been a private tutor and have taught regularly since the start of my university degree. I have tutored many different students taking exams ranging from the 11+, GCSE, and A-level standards. References are available on request.

King's Behaviour Support Unit, Teaching Assistant,

Wheelers Lane Boys Technology College, Teaching Assistant,

Deptford Green Secondary School, Learning Support Teacher, London
I worked one on one with different students who had a wide range of learning difficulties, such as dyslexia and ADHD, as well as autism. I worked across the curriculum in all subjects and in particular, I was solely responsible for the numeracy of certain students, helping them understand concepts that they were previously having difficulty with.


ICPNA Peru: I was a teacher at the ICPNA institute of English in Cusco, Peru. I had four full classes to teach and assess. I was expected to follow a month long curriculum, at the end of which the students take a test to assess whether they are ready for the next stage. The classes were mixed with both young and old students, from the ages of 14 to 40. The class sizes ranged from 17 - 22 students in one class.

Jan - March 2008: Taught English and basic maths to 4-6 year olds in the Taleem-ul-Islam High School, situated in small Indian town. I was often left with a class of 30 - 40 students. I implemented new ideas which the students found exciting and different (e.g learning through play, acting and drawing etc).



Tutoring Approach:

At first my students to talk me through what they are learning and where they feel their weaknesses lie. Talking about the subject, about what they like/do not like gives me a better understanding of how to make the student feel more comfortable in their subject. For younger students, and where necessary, an assessment is used to determine their level.

I have a bank of materials that is to date and engaging.

For coursework and homework that is due to be handed into schools, I am always willing and able to proof read and correct. I am happy to help a student through coursework giving them pointers along the way (by no means doing it for them!!).

I will always encourage self study for the student to do at home although I do not normally set homework, unless the student requests, or I feel that more practice is needed.
