College Essay Feedback
Revision Learning coaches provide rubric-based, actionable written feedback on students’ college essay drafts. Students submit their drafts via their Revision Learning account and within ~48-hours, a coach returns the personalized feedback directly to the student.
The feedback consists of three parts:
A rubric that assesses submission readiness
Students receive an easy-to-follow, custom visual rubric that helps them instantly understand what’s working well in their essay and what needs the most attention.

A letter to the student highlighting 2-3 top-level revision strategies to yield biggest improvements
At Revision Learning we don’t edit students’ writing!
Instead, we provide actionable suggestions so students can make improvements on their own. For more targeted support around grammar, we’re big fans of Grammarly!
Each part of the rubric is given a color score based on:
what works really well
what merits further revision
what areas need the most attention
In-line comments on the student’s draft that offer question-based feedback and highlight specific places where the student can improve

“I was really worried about my essay, especially because of the topic I was writing [about]. I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out at all. But with the feedback I got, I became more confident in what I was writing and now I feel much more comfortable in submitting my essay. Thank you!”
“I’m extremely grateful for having the opportunity to have my work reviewed by Revision Learning. It’s unfortunate that not everyone is aware of the greatness Revision has to offer. I can see this being an essential when writing anything even beyond the classroom. Will definitely be sharing this site with my fellow seniors applying to college. Thank You! ”
