Equipping parents to grow confident learners through practical, joyful, everyday routines.

What Is Mrs May’s Parent Ways?

I deliver workshops in primary schools and nurseries, guiding parents to help their children to improve reading, maths and using AI skills. Parents leave with ideas that they can implement straight away.

Who Am I?

With 35 years in the classroom and 12 years as a headteacher, alongside three decades of parenting, I’ve gathered a wealth of insight. I’ve brought together my most practical, reliable tips to support today’s parents of young children. My hope is that the experience I’ve gained over a lifetime of teaching and raising my own family can make a real difference in yours.

What People Say About Me

“Claire’s wisdom and experience as an educator for 30 years allows her to look at the bigger picture and shine light on the issues you just don’t notice as a busy parent in the midst of it all. She’s a wonderful non-judgmental resource of insights and practical advice that set me on the right path with addressing specific challenges I faced parenting my kids.” (SH, parent)
