The Problem

Chinese essay grading is broken

For students and teachers alike, the feedback loop is too slow, too inconsistent, and too expensive to scale.

⏱️

20–40 min per essay

A typical Chinese teacher spends 20–40 minutes grading a single exam essay with detailed rubric annotations — leaving little time for teaching.

📋

Exam rubrics are complex

Singapore's PSLE, O-Level, IB and IGCSE each have distinct rubrics with multiple weighted dimensions. Students rarely understand why they lost marks.

🌏

Qualified teachers are scarce

The global Chinese diaspora is growing, but qualified Chinese language teachers remain concentrated in a handful of cities. Digital access is unequal.

The Solution

Two products in one platform

An AI writing tutor for students, and a classroom management suite for teachers — seamlessly connected.
