Professor Nillas started her mathematics teaching career as a high school teacher but later spent years working and teaching in distance education. She has taught diverse groups of learners from high school students, pre-service teachers, adult learners, to in-service mathematics teachers. Her fascination for research lies strongly on topics such as classroom discourse (language and mathematics), pre-service teacher's mathematical understanding, teaching and learning with technology (all content areas), teacher research, and online teaching and learning.
