Hi Jane,
That might be be very hard to find, as women who wear niqab, observing this optional stricter ruling is mainly so strange men do not see their faces. This then would presuppose that they most likely will not teach mixed classes and therefore women classes only. However, if they teach only female classes then they do not have to wear niqab in front of women and most likely will take it off, as it can be a hindrance at times. But if that's what you're looking for I will keep an eye out as I work in Tower Hamlets one of the largest Muslim populations in the UK, but certainly at lifelong learning where I work non of our Muslim female ESOL teachers wear niqab only hijab.
Regards
Tahir Alam
