I have experienced and taken part in the activities stated above within the scope of Kingston Wadokai ‘s work programme. It was a great experience for me to be as an internship in Kingston Wadokai during one month. Kingston Wadokai is a social enterprise. It is also a big opportunity for me to work and study in a social enterprise which is have been rarely set up in our country.

I attended the internship program of Kingston Wadokai which focused on being as active as possible during Covid-19, the internship program included were the amazing activities that specialize on the local talented youths. It was wonderful to attending poetry nights and singing in times of the global crisis in an amazing country like UK. In addition to the other contributions of these activities which support teamwork skills and intercultural interaction, they developed my language education. These activities also acted in coordination with some of my lessons. While I learned the emphasis on social roles gained with gender in the my Gender Equality Course, I learned to overcome this structural emphasis in events at Kingston Wadokai. I applied one by one the levels of methodological methods which I learned in the Research Skills Course in the tasks assigned to me in the projects. I used the techniques I learned in the Advanced Writing Skills Course in the reports I wrote in England. Thanks to Kingston Wadokai, I had the opportunity to put my educational skills I learned in the courses into practice. I learned that other members who attended the event shared the same view as me. During Covid-19 Crisis, although the events were local, but they were welcomed by young people like me and became extremely popular. It was a great opportunity for me to meet talented young people from different nationalities and singing with them historical songs about their nations peacefully. Among the written reviews, the number of people who want to experience this internship again is quite high. Andrew Beacock worked in coordination with  Hull BackPackers in behalf of Kingston Wadokai which aiming to provide young people with required skills such as leadership, problem-solving techniques and effective communication skills. To sum up, it was wonderful to be in Kingston Wadokai and spend time with talented local youth in this time of crisis.

I have had the pleasure of working with Peter over the last couple of months. Peter’s enthusiasm, confidence and passion are both inspiring and infectious. He believes in Karate and really wants to drive Kingston WadoKai to the next level. The sport is in safe hands in Hull and I would recommend his club to anyone.

To whom it may concern,


From the first moment of meeting Peter, I found he has a real passion for teaching, and he believes not only in what he delivers, but he believes in himself too. His passion for delivering quality teaching and empowering young people in developing their capacity to become active citizens is second to none.

Peter really has taken on everything that has been advised and asked of him. It is a real privilege to witness a metamorphosis in Peter’s development and journey in achieving teaching status in lifelong learning. Peter’s drive to refine his skills and competences is evident as he is consistently reflecting on what went well, what did not go so well and what needs to change to improve his teaching. It is clear to see that Peter stretches and challenges himself, taking his privileged teaching role to be the best professional he can be.

Peter has not stopped at achieving his teaching status though. He is continuously developing
his skills and competences into becoming an excellent Project manager, writing creative and innovative Erasmus+ youth mobility exchange proposals, his recent article publishing success and presentation at the 3rd International health Science and Life Congress (IHSLC, 2020) Turkey has catapulted his capacity into an exceptional respected professional. It is hard to think that just within a short few weeks Peter has not only improved on his teaching, but found his forte in a specialism subject supporting young people and those disadvantaged and disengaged from society, but has also developed a renewed passion for writing.


Peter has worked hard and now holds a reputation throughout Europe and Turkey as a hardworking, creative, innovative professional individual. Peter has become extremely popular within the Erasmus+ youth mobility programmes because he is always willing to support and mentor his students ensuring his lessons are enjoyable, interesting, and educational. Peter is known to be calm, comfortable, and confident when collaborating with all organisations, decision makers and policy makers.

Peter’s other strengths are that he can adapt to anything asked of him, teach to all abilities, cultures, and diversity. He is quick to identify differentiation, and is aware when students are struggling, especially if English is not their first language. There is not much I can say about his development as he has just blossomed into a hands on active teacher, but he should try and become more fluent in another language, which I know he is currently learning Turkish.

Peter will be an important asset to any educational establishment as he is more than a
teacher, he is developing into an established project manager.
