so for an example* is incorrect or can use it somewhere as well? please let me know because I asked my english teacher and he said that **for an example is correct which I myself doubt is wrong.

I wouldn't call that wrong.
But did your teacher tell you that the normal and common phrase is 'for example'?

It depends.
Do you want to sound like a native speaker?
Do you want to give just one example or several?

For an example is possible in the right context, but it is not really interchangeable with the set phrase for example, which is the natural choice when you’re giving an example.
I have searched everywhere for an example.
For an example of this, see Figure 11.
I think your sentence was a little lengthy for an example.
I asked him for an exa
