The Ridiculously Helpful Feedback & Revision Platform

Give your students the opportunity to receive more constructive feedback on their writing than ever before, so they can learn to communicate more effectively.

Word and Docs help students type. Eli Review helps students become better writers.

It’s frustrating when you give a writing assignment and your students struggle to communicate their ideas clearly. We’ve been there - and it’s the reason we created Eli Review.

We believe that learning to write requires two skills: feedback and revision. When students learn how to give - and receive - productive feedback, their writing becomes clearer. Regardless of whether they’re writing about science, business, art history, or, well, anything.


We started Eli Review because we also love teaching students to write.

Years ago we were asked to create a better way to teach business school students how to write. So we set out to build a tool that met two requirements:

  • It had to be built on a foundation of academic research.
  • It had to work for students studying any discipline.

In the 15 years since, 500,000 students across nearly every subject have become better writers because they’ve used Eli Review to get more opportunities for feedback and revision.


Not just software. A complete support system for writing instruction.

We provide guides for evidence-based coaching, for tools to move the entire class toward better writing and feedback, tallied responses to indicate how well drafts meet criteria, and structured questions that guide reviewers to notice criteria before they jump to evaluation, all based on peer-reviewed research.


How can we prove we have the best customer support in the industry?

Simple. Feel free to email our company's CEO. Or Casey McArdle, our Head of Professional Development. Or Mike Schanhals, our Lead Education Specialist. They're always happy to chat about why instructors love working with us.
