AI essay feedback for teachers

Draft criterion-specific feedback without making the teacher’s final assessment decision.

Use free toolAll tools
Example resultShort argumentative essay feedback

Evidence observed

The response states a clear claim and uses one relevant detail from the provided source.

Possible issue

The source detail is followed by a conclusion, but the reasoning that connects them is implicit.

Your inputs

Describe the real teaching task

Use an anonymized paragraph, the original prompt, and three measurable criteria.

Remove the learner’s name and all personal information before pasting work. The public usage record does not store your input.

Worked example

Short argumentative essay feedback

Upper-secondary learner revising a 450-word argument

Input

  • Anonymised excerpt
  • Criteria: claim, evidence, explanation
  • Feedback only—not a final grade

Evidence observed

The response states a clear claim and uses one relevant detail from the provided source.

Possible issue

The source detail is followed by a conclusion, but the reasoning that connects them is implicit.

Actionable revision

Add one sentence explaining why the source detail makes the claim more likely, then test whether a limitation changes that reasoning.

Requires teacher judgement

Whether the selected evidence is sufficient for this task and how much weight the missing explanation should carry.

Review before use: Compare feedback with the original prompt and criteria; remove anything that invents evidence or reads as a final grade.

Worked example

Historical-source response

Learner interpreting one provided primary-source excerpt

Input

  • Source provenance included
  • No invented historical facts
  • Teacher checks interpretation

Evidence observed

The response accurately identifies the writer’s references to a twelve-hour day and poor ventilation.

Successful reasoning

It distinguishes an inference about difficult conditions from the source detail and recognises that one letter cannot represent every worker.

Actionable revision

Name the source limitation more precisely: explain that the writer’s position, purpose, date, and workplace context are needed before generalising.

Requires teacher judgement

Whether the inference is sufficiently developed for the assigned curriculum level and whether contextual knowledge was expected.

Review before use: Verify every historical claim against the provided source and curriculum materials.

Worked example

B2 language writing

B2 learner revising a formal email

Input

  • Purpose and audience
  • Organisation and language criteria
  • Do not rewrite the whole response

Evidence observed

The opening states the purpose clearly and the two alternative times are easy for the course team to identify.

Possible issue

“The new time conflicts with my work” is understandable, but the message does not state when the conflict begins or whether the request is temporary.

Actionable revision

Add one concise sentence with the relevant date and ask whether either proposed time is available; keep the learner’s existing direct wording.

Language note

The register is appropriately formal. A closing such as “Kind regards” would complete the email without rewriting it.

Review before use: Do not treat accent, dialect, or stylistic difference as an error unless the task criterion requires a specific register.
