2. OUR SERVICES

2.1 Nature of Services

Prosperity English provides AI-assisted and, in some cases, human-reviewed assessments of English writing and language tasks. Our tools and feedback are designed to help users—including schools, teachers, and students—improve their English language skills. We are not an official exam board, nor do we guarantee that using our Services will yield the same results on standardised examinations. Use of English’, ‘Cambridge B2 First’, ‘FCE’, ‘Cambridge C1 Advanced’, ‘CAE’, ‘Cambridge C2 Proficiency’ and ‘CPE’ are brands belonging to The Chancellor, Masters and Scholars of the University of Cambridge and are not associated with Prosperity English or its products.

2.2 School and Distributor Workflows

• Distributor Invitations: Distributors may invite schools to join the platform by entering the administrator’s name, email address, and school name.
• School Administrator Trial: A school administrator who accepts the invitation receives a trial account.
• Teacher and Student Accounts: Once on the platform, school administrators (or teachers with administrator permissions) can add teachers and students. Only minimal data (e.g., name and email/username) is collected to create accounts.
• Subscriptions: If the school decides to unlock all available tests or features, the distributor can apply a subscription to the school account.

2.3 AI Grading

Writing and Word Transformation Tasks: Our Services include AI-graded tasks for English language practice, such as writing tasks (B2–C2 levels) or “part 4” word transformation tasks.

Guidance Feedback: AI-generated feedback is provided at the question or task level to offer guidance. Teachers and school administrators can view all student submissions and AI feedback within their designated classes or groups.

2.4 No Official Endorsement

Our grading and feedback tools are developed independently. Achieving high scores on our Site does not guarantee similar outcomes on third-party exams or placements. We make no warranties as to how any user will perform in standardised or other external examinations.
