Good thesis, conclusion needs more development.

Excellent use of rhetorical devices and evidence.
The Problem
Teaching is demanding enough without spending your evenings buried in a stack of essays.
The average teacher spends 8-10 hours a week on grading alone. That's time taken away from planning, teaching, and rest.
Fatigue and subjectivity mean the same essay can receive different marks depending on when it's read. That's not fair to students.
When grading takes hours, comments get shorter. Students miss the specific, actionable feedback that actually helps them improve.

This saved me so much time. I used to spend every Sunday marking. Now I spend an hour reviewing AI feedback and personalising it. My students are actually getting more useful comments than before.

Year 10 English Teacher · Westbrook High School
Grading is finally consistent across my classes. I can show students exactly which rubric criterion needs work, and the feedback doesn't vary based on whether I'm tired or not. It's been a game changer.

Head of English Department · St. Andrew's College
I was sceptical at first. I thought it would feel robotic. But the feedback is genuinely detailed. I tweak maybe 10% of it. The time I've saved has gone straight back into my students.

We rolled this out across the whole department last term. Teachers are less stressed, feedback quality is up, and our year 12 results improved. I can't recommend it enough.
