Before we quote

What we need from you.

A good quote depends on a clear brief. Use this checklist before sending your enquiry so Academic Teacher can review the task properly and avoid unnecessary back-and-forth.

Quote checklist

Send these details if you have them.

You do not need every item before contacting us, but the more complete the brief is, the more accurate the quote and support recommendation will be.

Assignment details

  • The exact assignment question or task title
  • Module name and subject area
  • Task type, such as essay, report, dissertation chapter, reflection, proposal or data analysis
  • Required word count or page limit
  • Any template, structure, marking sheet or university guidance

Academic standard

  • Academic level, such as college, undergraduate, Master's, MBA or PhD
  • Target classification if relevant, such as First-class, 2:1, 2:2, Distinction, Merit or Pass
  • Marking rubric, learning outcomes or assessment criteria
  • Referencing style, such as Harvard, APA 7, OSCOLA, MLA or institution-specific
  • Any lecturer or supervisor comments already received

Deadline and scope

  • Exact deadline date and time
  • Whether the deadline is fixed or flexible
  • What has already been completed, if anything
  • Whether you need planning, writing guidance, editing, proofreading, data support or review
  • Any urgent constraints that affect turnaround

Files to attach where possible

  • Assignment brief or question sheet
  • Marking rubric or learning outcomes
  • Current draft, notes or outline
  • Reading list, required sources or lecture slides
  • Data files, survey results or supervisor feedback if relevant

A strong enquiry example

"I need support with a 2,500-word undergraduate business report. The deadline is Friday 5pm. I have attached the brief, marking rubric and two lecture slides. Referencing is Harvard. I need help with structure, research direction and editing."

This is useful because it gives the task type, academic level, word count, deadline, files, referencing style and type of support needed.

What not to send

  • Your full personal academic record
  • Unrelated private documents
  • Payment details through the enquiry form
  • Multiple versions of the same file unless clearly labelled

Academic Teacher only needs information relevant to reviewing the academic task and preparing a suitable quote.
