Thanks to my fellow teachers and my many thousands of
students
since 1977, I have been able to write and publish 35 books since
I started my writing
career in 1989.
Knowing what works in the classroom is of prime importance. I
strongly
believe that one cannot write books unless one is in the
classroom, since the needs
of our students are constantly changing.
I believe that I have a commitment to English language teaching,
to the
students who use my books and to the teachers who chose my books
over someone elses. To that end, I feel it
is my duty to write my books alone since it is my name which
goes
on each cover. I do not use ghost writers or teams of writers.
What I do use is
various schools, students and teachers all over Greece to pilot
my work. This I
find absolutely necessary.
For this reason I take pride and care in what I do and hope that
my efforts meet
all your demands and expectations.
