ESSAYO is a writing support service that helps students transform AI assisted drafts into authentic, personal, academically credible writing. Our tutors identify AI markers, explain why they weaken clarity or voice, and provide actionable feedback to revise them, teaching them actual writing strategies without rewriting the paper for students. The core of the service is to help students find their voice and own their writing.

AI markers are patterns commonly produced by large language models, such as vague generalizations, shallow analysis, repetitive sentence structures, overly formal tone, missing lived experience, or fabricated citations, among others. Our tutors highlight these markers directly in students’ submitted essay drafts and explain:

• Why they appear

• How they affect clarity or authenticity

• How to revise them using their own voice

We do our best to accommodate preferences, but we can’t guarantee that the same tutor will be available for future sessions. All ESSAYO tutors follow the same training and approach, so you’ll receive consistent, high quality guidance every time.

ESSAYO tutors do their best to complete as many pages as possible within the scope of the 1-Hour Review Session, but if time does not permit them to review extra pages, they will indicate the coverage of the review. In that case, you can book an additional service so you can also receive feedback for the pages that fall outside of the scope of your initial session.

ESSAYO does not provide live or synchronous tutoring sessions. We only offer asynchronous tutoring sessions that provide written feedback to ensure high-quality, thoughtful revision guidance.
