The problem
“It’s 9pm. You’re three essays into a class set of thirty. Each one takes 12–15 minutes done properly. At this pace you won’t finish until midnight — and you have to teach tomorrow.”
So the feedback gets thinner. The comments get more generic. Students don’t know how to improve. They don’t redraft. The learning loop breaks.
This is the problem Ariel Ed solves.
How it works
Upload · Review · Teach
01
Upload your class set
Typed essays, handwritten scans, PDF answer booklets. Any format. The whole class at once.
OCR transcribes handwriting automatically.
02
AI marks against AQA
Band descriptors 1–6. AO1, AO2, AO3 at the correct scales. Peak-not-average marking. Research-grade accuracy.
Calibrated against real exam scripts. Teacher reviews every result.
03
Review, refine, release
You see every piece of feedback before students do. Override marks. Chat with AI to refine. You have the final word.
The teacher stays in control. Always.
Batch marking
Your whole class.
Minutes.
30 essays marked against the actual AQA mark scheme while you do something else entirely. Results save as each essay completes — close the browser and nothing is lost.
Each student gets: overall band, AO breakdown, three strengths with their own words quoted back, three improvements, three actionable next steps.

Diagnostic report
Know what to
teach next.
After every marking cycle, you know which AOs the class is weak on, which students need intervention, and exactly which 2–3 lessons would have the most impact.

The origin
“I’m an English teacher. I wanted every student to get the specific, evidence-based feedback they actually need to improve. I couldn’t find a tool that understood AQA, protected student data, and kept me in control. So I built one.”
Sean, English teacher and founder, Ariel Ed
