Up-Grade helps students plan, write, and improve essays with structured writing frameworks, instant feedback, and guided coaching — while teachers and tutors stay in control of every assessment.
A better essay-writing workflow for students and teachers
From first idea to final improvement, Up-Grade supports every stage of the writing process.
Create
Teachers and tutors create any essay task, configure the rubric, and choose the writing framework that fits the objective.
Plan
Students structure their thinking using proven frameworks such as PEEL and PEAEAC, so they know how to build strong paragraphs before they start writing.
Improve
AI provides clear, specific feedback on structure, argument, and written expression, with Socratic prompts to help students think more deeply.
Review
Teachers stay in control, reviewing and refining feedback where needed, while tracking student progress over time.
Two connected experiences — one for educators, one for students
Create essay tasks, choose frameworks, tailor rubrics, and guide improvement without adding unnecessary workload.
Built for better essay writing — not just faster marking
Our platform combines AI with proven educational frameworks to create the ultimate writing assessment and improvement tool.
AI Essay Feedback
Detailed feedback on structure, argument, clarity, and written expression — delivered instantly, so students can improve while the work is still fresh.
Essay Planning
Guide students through the planning process with structured outlines and visual tools that help organise ideas before writing begins.
Framework-Based Writing Support
Support essay planning with proven writing frameworks such as PEEL and PEAEAC, helping students organise ideas into stronger paragraphs and arguments.

Teacher-Controlled Assessment
Create your own essay tasks, configure the rubric, and adapt feedback so the platform supports your teaching rather than replacing it.
