David Little

I first became involved with Pestalozzi in 2018 working with the students at the International Village as a volunteer chemistry tutor.  I was impressed by the enthusiasm, commitment and sense of social responsibility of the students and when their base moved to Atlantic College I was pleased to continue to play a part in their journey as a trustee.  My background is in science and education.  After postgraduate research in biochemistry at Southampton University and postdoctoral work at University College Swansea I worked as head of the chemistry department in a sixth form college in Essex where I live.  Since retiring in 2012 I have continued to work as a chemistry tutor and also as an A-level examiner for one of the national exam boards.  I am also a volunteer classroom assistant at my local adult education college.
