Why I built InStep

I moved from Romania to the UK and have spent years raising my children within an education system I didn’t grow up in myself.

Even after living here for years and speaking English fluently, there were always new things to decode — reading levels, assessments, entrance exams, GCSE choices and the countless school processes parents somehow seem expected to already understand.

I built InStep around a simple idea:

Parents shouldn’t have to piece the education system together alone.
