Why Have Your Essay Marked Before You Submit?
Handing in an essay without a second opinion is a gamble. A marking service closes that gap by showing you, in advance, how an experienced assessor would read your draft against the rubric.
You see which criteria you already meet and which need work, so revision time is spent where it matters most. Because the feedback is indicative rather than a guaranteed grade, it mirrors genuine assessment and helps you build the judgement to improve your own writing for future assignments too.
Marking for Every Type of Assessment
Whatever you have written, our markers assess it against the criteria that actually apply to your task. From short essays to full dissertations, each piece is read by someone familiar with that assessment format and its expectations.
Essay Marking
Your essay assessed against its rubric with comments on argument, structure and evidence.
Assignment Marking
Coursework and set tasks reviewed against the brief, with an indicative grade band.
Dissertation Marking
Chapter-by-chapter feedback on longer projects, from methodology to critical discussion.
Rubric-Based Feedback
Every criterion in your marking scheme explained and scored against your draft.
Indicative Grading
An honest grade band showing where your work currently stands before submission.
Improvement Notes
A prioritised list of specific, actionable changes to strengthen your own draft.
Referencing: any UK style — Harvard, APA, OSCOLA or your faculty format — on request.
What Detailed Feedback Actually Looks Like
Our feedback is never a single number. You receive in-text comments pinpointing specific sentences, a criterion-by-criterion breakdown, and an overall summary explaining the indicative grade band.
We highlight what already works so you keep your strengths, then set out clear improvement notes in priority order. Because every draft is different, no two reports read the same. The aim is simple: to hand back your own work with a clear map of how to make it stronger before you submit it yourself.
Honest Grading You Can Trust
We give indicative grades only because no service can promise a mark that your own tutor controls. What we can promise is honesty.
If a draft sits in the 2:2 band, we say so and explain precisely what would lift it. That candour is more useful than flattery, and it protects your academic integrity because the final work, and every improvement to it, remains entirely your own.
