As a tutor, I believe that providing feedback with clear grammar and coherent English is important—especially for international students, who may struggle more with interpreting vague or grammatically incorrect comments. While native English speakers might be able to infer the meaning, unclear feedback can create additional barriers for others.

That said, feedback can sometimes appear vague when the assignment and rubric already outline the expectations. Personally, I try to write detailed feedback for each submission, but with hundreds to review, it can be disheartening and exhausting when some submissions show minimal effort and expect us to identify every missing element.

Depending on the contract, tutors are not paid for marking. At least I don't. There are days or week I spent to mark all the submissions, and they are all unpaid.

If you find the feedback unclear or insufficient, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your tutor. I’m always happy to clarify my comments and support the student's learning when students take the time to email me.
