The cold gets to -35°C in Harbin, China. In the UAE and Qatar temperatures rise to 50°C. You have got to be tough to travel and work in the last city before hitting sub-Siberian wilderness, and perhaps more resilient in the sweltering heat....

Besides contracts with ministries, universities and NGOs in Africa, China, the Middle East, and Japan, Nila has taught at various post-secondary institutions in Canada and the U.S. She has been a valued member of the summer faculty at Harvard University Institute for English Language Programs (IEL). Nila is presently on leave from her faculty position at Capilano University as an EAP instructor and the Editor of The Westcoast Reader, an award-winning newspaper for adult learners who want to improve their language and reading skills. The print edition is published monthly from September to June each year; its online learning community operates all year: www.thewestcoastreader.com.

Nila's expertise is in teaching and creating materials for learners of English from all backgrounds. She enriches each person's experience by developing personalized curricula to accommodate broad age and demographic ranges in the classroom, as well as outside of those four walls.
