One full evaluation, every correction, no card.
University fees have risen faster than wages in most countries over the past two decades, and many families now treat a degree as a debt rather than a chance9 . In my view, funding tuition from taxation is the better option1 , because the price of a degree decides who studies long before ability does.
Firstly, tuition fees discourages 11 students from poorer households, even when they are qualified. A lot of 7 research from the United Kingdom shows that applications from the lowest income group fall whenever fees rise, and those students carry the largest debts afterwards. In practice, the students who need a degree most are the ones asked to gamble on it.

A worked example, not a real student's essay. Bands are always shown with the range they sit in.
Three skills clear the bar, one does not, and nothing in the report says which sentences cost you the half band.
3 days
A tutor charges by the hour and answers in days. Free AI tools answer in seconds and flatter you — neither shows you the line that lost the mark.
~US$250
Another attempt costs about US$250 and two months of waiting, and nothing about sitting the same test guarantees a different Writing band.
None of the numbers above are ours. Here is what happens instead.
Five question types, drawn from a bank written to exam patterns. The type tells you the shape your answer has to take.
Four coaching questions instead of a blank page. I read the plan back and say where the argument is thin.
One sentence. You will defend this to the end.
Introduction, bodies, conclusion, each with its own word range. Nothing is generated for you; the words stay yours.
Firstly, tuition fees discourage students from poorer households, even when they are qualified. A substantial body of research…
A band per criterion with the evidence behind it, corrections you work through in place, then one re-score that shows what moved.
Four bands, four reasons, and the reason is always a line you wrote. Nothing here says “good effort” or “needs work”.
Firstly, tuition fees discourages11 students from poorer households, even when they are qualified.
The other view is never named — and Task Response asks for the whole question, not only your side.
Body 2 argues public return and regional inequality at once; one idea per paragraph is the band 7 line.
“A lot of research” undersells the evidence you are pointing at.
“Tuition fees discourages students” — plural subject, singular verb, counted every time.
Each finding opens with a hint, not an answer. You try the fix in your own words; the correction is one click away for when you are stuck. When you have worked through them, one re-score reads the whole essay again.

Fixed — plural subject, plural verb.
Hint first, correction on demand, and the card only turns green when the sentence actually changed.

Every evaluation is driven by the four official criteria and the public band descriptors — paraphrased into plain language, never quoted at you.
Scoring is calibrated against essays that examiners have already scored, and re-checked whenever the model or prompts change.
Estimates are always shown as a band with the range it sits in. Where the evidence is thin, the range widens instead of the number hardening.

A tutor reads two of your essays a month. This reads all of them, and the retake fee still buys you no explanation.
One month costs less than a single tutor hour — and it marks every essay you write.
Plans are one-time periods and do not renew on their own.
Scoring is calibrated against essays already scored by examiners, and every estimate is shown as a band with its range. It is a well-informed estimate, not a prediction: real exam scores vary between sittings and between examiners, and nobody can promise you a band.
Both. Task 2 is the essay task the two modules share, and the four criteria are the same. Task 1 is not covered.
No. It never writes for you. You plan, you write, and the feedback points at your own sentences — the coaching is what a tutor would say, and the words on the page stay yours.
There is nothing to cancel. Plans are one-time three or six month periods that simply end; no card is kept on file for a renewal you forgot about.
