Thanks to my fellow teachers and my many thousands of students since 1977, I have been able to write and publish 30 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 because 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 choose my books over someone else’s. 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. For this reason I take pride and care in what I do and hope that my efforts meet all your demands and expectations.
