About Nazia

International educator with 7+ years of teaching experience across India and Dubai, working with IB, Cambridge/British, and CBSE curricula. Passionate about creating engaging, student-centered learning experiences that foster curiosity, confidence, and lifelong learning.

I am an experienced international educator with over 7 years of teaching experience across India and Dubai, working with diverse learners in international school settings. My teaching journey spans the International Baccalaureate (IB/PYP), Cambridge/British Curriculum, and CBSE/CBSE-i, with a strong focus on Science and ICT, along with experience as a Homeroom Facilitator and Team Lead. I am passionate about creating engaging, student-centered learning experiences that encourage curiosity, critical thinking, collaboration, and confidence. My experience in multicultural classrooms has helped me develop a flexible and inclusive approach to teaching, while my interest in educational technology and effective documentation enables me to integrate innovative tools and strategies into learning. I strive to create a positive classroom environment where every learner feels supported, valued, and motivated to grow.

For me, teaching has always been about more than delivering lessons—it is about helping children discover what they are capable of. Over the years, teaching learners from different backgrounds in India and Dubai has shown me that every child learns differently, and sometimes the smallest moment of curiosity, confidence, or understanding can make a lasting difference. I teach because I genuinely enjoy being part of that journey: encouraging questions, celebrating progress, and creating a safe space where children feel confident to learn, explore, and grow. Seeing a student move from “I can’t do this” to “I did it!” is one of the most rewarding parts of being an educator.
