Brief and rubric
We review the task question, marking criteria and required output to understand exactly what the student needs and what the institution expects.
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.
Before work begins
How the process works
Academic Teacher follows a clear three-step process before any work begins. This ensures the support route matches the academic level, deadline and expected standard, and gives students full clarity on scope and cost before they commit.
Scope and deadline
We confirm word count, academic level, referencing style and turnaround to establish a clear, agreed scope of work with no ambiguity.
Matched support route
We recommend the most appropriate service, explain what is included and provide a transparent quote with no hidden costs or upsells.
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.
