We have recently revised our ordering system to make things more efficient for you. You now submit your order to us using our Order Page (and send us your work to extrainfo
lawteacher.net). We take payment by paypal at the time of placing your order because we now have sufficient Assessment Officers on our books to be able to assure you that we can
complete the assessment.
Your work will be sent confidentially to an Assessment Officer who is qualified to help you with your assignment.
You choose the speed of service - your work can be with you the following day, within 2 or 3 days, or you can opt for our budget 5 day turnaround. The quality of the service remains the same either way.
Please note that orders received (with valid payment) after 4pm may be processed the following working day (although in all cases we will try and process your order straight away).
Once your work has been marked, it will be returned to you via e-mail, before midnight, on the delivery date.Will you be able to assess my work? We can virtually guarantee that we can help with all assignments - even those that are particularly difficult or from unusual subject areas. We have recruited a large number of professional lecturers to deal with the assessment of your work in all subject areas.
What services do you provide?
There are two levels of service that you can choose. Our basic service will provide a full assessment of your spelling, grammar, structure and referencing. Our full comprehensive critique service will provide the same assessment of spelling, grammar, structure and referencing but in addition, will add feedback on the content of your work and how you have addressed the question. Please note that our guarantee to improve your grade only applies to our full comprehensive service.
How can I use the assessment? Our basic service gives you feedback on spelling, grammar, structure and referencing. All changes and additions will be tracked so you can choose to accept or ignore suggestions.
Our full comprehensive critique service will provide appropriate suggestions on the content of your work and how you have addressed the question. You can either take our suggestions/amendments and apply them or ignore them - it is entirely up to you.
What can I expect from my Assessment Officer?
This depends on the quality of your work but the marking will be similar to what you can expect from your university lecturer. If you have written a very good piece, the feedback may be less comprehensive. We have included some examples for you to look at but these are only an indication and your Assessment Officer will give individual feedback as is required by your work. All of our Assessment Officers have experience in giving students feedback on essays and are fully qualified in their area of expertise.

How do I know that your service will meet your promises?
We guarantee that, if our Assessment Officer marks your work (on full critique service) and you follow his or her suggestions, you will get a better grade. We only use Assessment Officers who meet our minimum requirements as to experience and education in their specialist subject area. You can therefore be certain that only an expert will be working with you to improve your grade.
In addition to our strict recruitment policy, we individually monitor all marked work for quality and standards, to ensure that our experts continue to deliver the promises we guarantee. If you believe that our service does not meet our promises or your specific instructions we will refer it back to our expert for you free of charge, as long as you tell us within 48 hours.
What can I ask for in my order?
Whichever service you use, you are required to submit the full original question/brief and your answer. For the basic service, you can let us know any structural or style specifications, referencing requirements etc that you have attempted to follow, and your Assessment Officer will provide feedback on how these have been dealt with.
If using the comprehensive service you can also submit comments on points you have not understood which you have attempted to deal with in your essay. Your Assessment Officer will work with you to clarify any issues that need attention.

Aren't you the same as other assessment companies? The simple answer is no. Some companies provide a simple grammar and spelling check which could be performed by you on your home computer. Others employ undergraduate students who are unqualified and inexperienced, to mark and comment essays. These organisations are not in a position to help you advance in your course or improve your grade. Our organisation is focused on delivering the highest quality in assessment services and this is the primary reason that we are the market leader in assessment services in the UK. Our services are backed by a 100% guarantee that you can rely on.What topics can you assess? Anything and everything that you can study at university.
Can I visit your office? Ordinarily we do not accept personal callers to our offices as all business can easily be conducted via the telephone or e-mail.
I'm worried - is this legal?
The service we offer is 100% legal and 100% legitimate. Many top universities advertise us on their recruitment websites.
It is your responsibility to check with your own university whether they have any rules against you using an assessment service. However, most do not and we are aware that some universities runs a similar service providing feedback to international students, on a smaller scale.
The service that we provide is a legitimate assessment service that helps you to improve on your essay grade yourself. We do not add sections of material to your work but instead, we will direct your attention to issues and material that you have omitted, where appropriate. How you include this in your essay is your own decision but the result will be that all work you submit will be your own. Unlike some companies we will not advocate or support cheating or plagiarism.
Who are your Quality Control Team?
Our quality control team are all university qualified staff and in addition, hold professional qualifications and experience that enable them to effectively monitor the work of Assessment Officers. You can find out more about our team from our team profiles page.
Is your service fully confidential?
Yes. Whilst we believe that there is nothing wrong with students using an assessment service, we fully respect your integrity and don't even need to take your name. Your details will be kept wholly confidential throughout the order and then deleted once it has been completed.
Do you send all the work you have assessed to a central database for universities to scan for plagiarism?
No, we never release your work to anyone other than the Assessment Officer for the purpose of marking. Once a reasonable period has passed for your order to have been dealt with, your work will be deleted from our system. Our Assessment Officers are required to observe a similar procedure.
You say your service is legal but is it cheating? You must read your university guidelines to see how they view our service. We offer no advice on this matter. We view our service as offering you a legitimate way to improve your grade yourself. Whether or not you take the suggestions of the person working with you is your decision. You will however see our advertisements for lecturer vacancies on many leading university recruitment sites. Clearly these universities would not cooperate with our recruitment procedure if they did not agree with our services.
Your service looks likes it encourages plagiarism - do you? No, there are other companies who will write parts of your answer for you but our Assessment Officers will only identify points you have not made or material that you need to include. They will not write your answer for you.
How do I pay and when?
All payments to us go through either Barclays Merchant Services (part of Barclays Bank) or a company called WorldPay, who are owned by the Royal Bank of Scotland. Both payment providers independently verify all companies that they provide payments systems for. Barclays are very well known and WorldPay are verified by Visa and deal with payments for many other multinationals such as Sony, Vodafone, and Microsoft. Click here for the WorldPay website.
What if the work is marked late? If your work is marked late you will receive a discount. Accordingly, we are not in the habit of sending our work late to our customers!
How do I know I will get the service I have paid for, once I have paid?
If we were in the habit of defrauding customers, our payment providers would cut off their service to us and we would go out of business very quickly! Don't forget that we are a legitimate company with a trading address and a contact number. Unlike other companies that comprise simply a website and an e-mail address, we have real people to speak to, 6 days a week. We work hard to maintain our reputation because we believe the happier you are, the more people you will recommend us to!
How do I receive my assessed work?
All work is e-mailed to you by registered e-mail and comes as an attachment in the form of a word document.
What time will my work arrive?
All work will arrive on the day, or the day before you requested on your order form, Eg. If you requested a 5 day delivery, your work will arrive on day 5 or day 4 and so on. The usual time for delivery is 10p.m. but during very busy times it will arrive before 12.00 midnight.
