Feedback on a paper before it is turned in, without the paper being written for you
The best time to fix an essay is before the teacher sees it. Cooler Tutor reads the paper against the actual assignment and tells the student what is missing, what is weak, and what to practice.
At a glance
- Paste the assignment so the critique fits what the teacher asked for
- Upload Word or PDF, or share a Google Docs link
- Each requirement marked met, partly met or not met
- Grammar lessons drawn from the student’s own sentences
- Never rewrites the essay
- Compare with the teacher’s grade afterward
Three steps
First, the student pastes the assignment exactly as the teacher gave it. Second, they upload the paper as a Word file or PDF up to 10 MB, or share a Google Docs link. Third, they read the critique.
What the critique covers
It starts with assignment fit: each requirement is listed and marked met, partly met or not met, with a comment. It states any assumptions it made, such as the expected length or the focus. Then it looks at thesis, structure and evidence, and at grammar and style.
The grammar notes are small lessons drawn from the student’s own sentences, so they learn the rule instead of just seeing a fix. A critique can be downloaded as a Word document or PDF to work from.
It does not write the paper
Cooler Tutor points at problems and explains how to fix them. It does not rewrite paragraphs for the student to paste in. That keeps the work the student’s own and keeps the tool on the right side of school honesty policies.
Compare it with the teacher’s grade
After the paper is graded, the student can upload the marked-up copy. Cooler Tutor compares the teacher’s grade and comments with its own estimate and suggests what to focus on next time. Over a semester this shows where the student’s sense of quality and the teacher’s differ.
Frequently asked questions
Will Cooler Tutor write my essay?
No. It critiques and explains. It does not rewrite or generate text for the student to submit.
What files can I upload?
A Word document (.docx) or PDF up to 10 MB, or a link to a shared Google Doc.
Why does it ask for the assignment first?
A good paper for one assignment can be a poor fit for another. The critique checks the paper against the requirements the teacher actually set.
How long does a critique take?
Usually under a minute. Longer papers take a little longer.
Is this AI detection?
No. Cooler Tutor is a feedback tool for the student. It doesn’t report to teachers or check for AI-written text.
Can parents read the essay?
The parent dashboard shows progress only, such as grades and due dates. It does not display essay text or critiques.
Is the grade estimate the real grade?
No. It is an estimate to help the student improve. The teacher’s grade is the one that counts.
