May currently delivers Business and Management courses at Levels 4 to 7 at BPP and also teaches through Hammersmith and Fulham Adult Learning and Skills Service. She previously worked as Deputy Course Director, Module Leader and Lecturer in Business and Management at Coventry University London, teaching international cohorts across Levels 4 to 7.

University & postgraduate support
Helping students move beyond knowing the content
At university level, knowing the subject is only one part of producing strong academic work. Students also need to develop argument, critical thinking, evidence use, structure and an understanding of what the assessment is actually asking them to do.
May's experience as a lecturer, module leader and university External Examiner allows her to support students with these wider academic skills alongside their subject knowledge.
She also supports learners working on higher-level research and academic writing, including undergraduate and postgraduate projects and students progressing towards academic publication.
Academic coaching
Building skills students can use beyond a single exam or assignment
May brings a coaching mindset into tuition, helping students strengthen not only subject knowledge but also the confidence, resilience and independent thinking they need to manage their own learning.
Learner support
Academic progress with the whole learner in mind
Alongside her academic experience, May has worked with learners with additional needs and has substantial experience of safeguarding, wellbeing and school governance.
