Year 11 — English Literature — Macbeth Essay

Shakespeare uses the motif of blood throughout Macbeth to symbolise guilt and moral corruption. In Act 2, Lady Macbeth's famous line “Out, damned spot” reveals how guilt has become inescapable...

Strong thematic analysis with clear textual evidence. The symbolism point is well-developed. However, the argument lacks comparison across acts — a key skill for Band 5+.

How it works

Three steps to smarter marking

Upload, review, intervene. tilf handles the heavy lifting so you can focus on what moves the needle.

Upload essays

Scan, photograph, or upload typed work. tilf handles any format — handwritten included. Batch upload an entire class in seconds.

AI marks with reasoning

Every mark comes with a clear explanation. See exactly which criteria were met, which were missed, and why — aligned to your exam board.

Intervene early

Spot class-wide gaps, generate targeted exercises, and deliver personalised feedback — before the exam, when it still matters.

Trust & Safety

Privacy and safeguarding by design

We built tilf for schools — not Silicon Valley. Student data stays where it belongs.

GDPR Compliant

Full GDPR compliance with DPIAs, data processing agreements, and the right to erasure baked in.

UK-Hosted Data

All student data processed and stored in UK data centres. Nothing leaves the country.

No Model Training

Student essays are never used to train AI models. Your data is used only to serve you — then deleted.

Full Audit Trail

Every AI decision is logged and explainable. Full transparency for Ofsted, governors, and parents.

Features

Everything you need to mark with confidence

Built for real classrooms, not demo day.

Transparent AI reasoning

Every mark is explainable. tilf shows which assessment criteria drove the score, quotes the relevant student text, and explains the judgement call — so you can agree, adjust, or override with full context.

Class & cohort insights

See patterns across your class at a glance. Identify which criteria your students consistently miss and where targeted re-teaching will have the biggest impact.

All major exam boards

AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC. GCSE and A-Level. tilf maps directly to the mark schemes your students will be assessed against.

Smart feedback generation

Auto-generate personalised written feedback for each student, calibrated to their level. Edit, refine, or use as-is. Your voice, at scale.

You stay in control

tilf proposes. You decide. Adjust marks, override reasoning, set department-level calibration rules. The AI adapts to your professional judgement, not the other way around. Every final mark is yours.

Testimonials

Hear from real departments

I was sceptical about AI marking until I saw tilf explain why it gave a Band 4 instead of Band 5. It caught a nuance I'd missed. Now I trust it as a second pair of eyes.

We used to get mock results back to students after 3 weeks. With tilf, it's 3 days. That extra time for intervention before GCSEs was game-changing for our Year 11s.

Consistency across markers was my biggest headache. tilf gave us a shared baseline. Our moderation meetings went from 2 hours to 30 minutes.
