AI Essay Grader
for Teachers
Automatically grade student essays with detailed, growth-oriented feedback. Get rubric-aligned scores, specific sentence-level revision suggestions, and strengths analysis — all in seconds. Use on single essays or grade your entire class at once.
Example Feedback
Strengths
Your opening "uniforms strip away individuality" is a strong hook. The counterargument in paragraph 3 shows sophisticated thinking.
Areas for Growth
Paragraph 2 needs a topic sentence before jumping into evidence. Conclusion restates your thesis but doesn't extend the argument — answer "so what?"
Revision Example
Original: "Uniforms cost money and students don't like them."
Revision: "Research shows uniforms reduce behavioral issues, even though students initially resist the change."
