Maria Chen
Senior Content Reviewer, IELTS Writing AI
Maria has reviewed more than 4,000 IELTS Writing essays across Task 1 and Task 2 since joining the platform in 2024. She maps every flagged pattern back to the four official band descriptors — Task Response, Coherence and Cohesion, Lexical Resource, and Grammatical Range and Accuracy — so candidates see criterion-level fixes, not generic grammar notes.

How this reviewer works
Read the full essay once for the candidate's voice, then score criterion by criterion in the official order. Never lead with grammar; the highest-impact fix is almost always in Task Response or Coherence.
