I’m Marcel, a Mathematics graduate with First Class honours and a focus on STEP admissions preparation. I’m currently completing a research-based MSc in Pure Mathematics, following three years of strong academic performance at undergraduate level. Having achieved top scores in STEP during my own admissions process, I now work closely with IB students to build their confidence, accuracy, and intuition in tackling STEP problems under pressure.


My experience blends mathematics and classroom teaching. I originally trained as a secondary science teacher in London, but my academic roots are in maths. I now focus on STEP tutoring for IB students, using my school-teaching background to break complex problems into understandable stages. I bring an emphasis on structure, clarity, and calm progression—especially for students tackling STEP for the first time.


Hi! I’m Sandra, a Cambridge mathematics graduate and former STEP examiner with a PhD in pure mathematics. I specialise in guiding IB students through STEP by strengthening their reasoning and analytical precision. My sessions are shaped by real exam insight and focus on developing the clarity and structure needed to tackle the most demanding problems with confidence.


My interest in STEP stems from my own experience entering Cambridge’s engineering programme, where the problem-solving mindset it fostered became central to my academic life. Now pursuing a PhD in intelligent systems, I help IB students prepare for STEP by focusing on strategic thinking and pattern recognition. Rather than rote methods, I emphasise versatility—training students to adapt to whatever the paper throws at them.
