AI learning software · Essay Vantage
AI essay feedback, marked to each exam's own criteria.
Essay Vantage is a family of three products sharing one assessment engine: one for teachers marking at scale, and two for learners preparing for IELTS and TOEFL.
Scores are estimates, not official results. Essay Vantage is not affiliated with or endorsed by any exam board. Trademark notice
One assessment engine, three products.
Teacher and student editions share accounts and the same marking engine. They differ in what each person needs to see.
- Step 1
Reads finished writing
Learners or teachers submit an essay they have already written. Essay Vantage assesses writing; it does not write it.
- Step 2
Applies the exam's own criteria
Each response is marked against the published criteria for that exam, such as Task Response or Coherence and Cohesion for IELTS.
- Step 3
Explains every score
Every estimated score comes with the reasons behind it and a clear next step, so feedback is something you can act on.
- Step 4
People make the final call
In the teacher edition, nothing reaches a student until the teacher has reviewed it. Teachers can edit any mark or comment.
