Peter Cox

Having taught English as a Foreign Language in Japan for six years, Peter Cox recently returned to the UK and decided to study the part-time CELTA course at the St James's Park Centre. "I chose WKC because I was really impressed by the credentials of the tutors. They all have a great deal of experience in their field, especially compared to other colleges I looked at. The location's great for me as well, being so near to Victoria Station," he said.

Peter lived and worked in range of locations throughout Japan, spending two years near Osaka, three years in Hyogo and one year in Saitama, near Tokyo. He said, "I really enjoyed my time in Japan but I now I need the CELTA qualification so I can fill in my knowledge gaps and have the opportunity to teach in Europe".

Peter said, "I've really enjoyed the input sessions so far and the feedback from teaching practise has been brilliant. It's been good meeting new people as well". When he has completed his CELTA course, Peter would like to progress to the CELTA Module 2 at WKC. "I'm hoping to get a job in Further Education in London, Teaching English as an Additional Language (TEAL). Eventually I'd like to teach in a university, in Japan or perhaps in China," he said.
