You don't need to know the rubric.
MarkMate does.
Your child gets detailed, rubric-aligned feedback on their assignments before they submit. Better drafts mean better marks. All they need is their task notification and their work.

“Mum, can you check my essay?” but you haven't studied Ancient History since 1998
“Dad, does this answer the question?” but you don't have the rubric or marking criteria
Your child gets their assignment back with a disappointing grade and “needs more analysis”, but what does that actually mean?
You want to help but you don't know what the teacher is looking for
Private tutors cost $50-80/hour and aren't always available the night before it's due
How MarkMate helps your child
Three steps. Under a minute. No subject expertise required from you.
Upload Their Task
Your child uploads the task notification their teacher gave them. This tells MarkMate what the rubric and marking criteria are.
Submit Their Draft
They paste their work, upload a Word file, or even take a photo of handwritten work. Typed and handwritten both work.
Get Feedback & Improve
MarkMate shows exactly what's strong, what needs fixing, and how to fix it, with specific suggestions, not vague comments. They revise and check again.
Why parents choose MarkMate
Cheaper than a tutor
A private tutor costs $50-80/hour. MarkMate is $7.99/month AUD (incl. GST) for 30 checks. That's about 27 cents per assignment check. Available 24/7, no scheduling needed.
No subject expertise needed
You don't need to understand the rubric, the syllabus, or the directive verbs. MarkMate reads the task notification and knows exactly what the teacher is looking for.
Builds independence
Instead of relying on you to check their work, your child learns to self-assess and improve on their own. This is a skill they'll use through senior school and beyond.
Works for handwritten exams too
Your child can photograph their handwritten practice exam responses and get them checked. Perfect for exam preparation, not just typed assignments.
30+ subjects
History, English, Science, PDHPE, Creative Arts, TAS. Whatever your child studies, MarkMate has subject-specific feedback tuned for the NSW NESA syllabus.
Safe and private
