Studiosity

Studiosity is an academic writing feedback and peer mentoring service, that is offered on demand, by a third-party service provider.
Founder and management
New York born Jack Goodman founded Studiosity in 2002 and began working with public libraries with a company named YouTutor. This writing support and tutoring service was expanded to university students in 2014. a process known as unbundling. However, it is likely that those who have "academic capital" will benefit the most from academic support services. This outsourcing also prevents academics from closing the feedback loop and being able to assist students understanding. Studiosity is another example of edtech "assetisation", where value is extracted by limiting access to key services.
Pragmaticism
Studiosity's business model is to widen participation and their formative feedback has raised student's confidence . While the feedback is often removed from the students contexts , and this will provoke resistance to private providers. A pragmatic partnership could turn this relationship for mutual advantage.
