Most essays lose marks in predictable places: an unclear argument, description instead of analysis, or weak referencing. Your expert works on the stage you're stuck on and explains the reasoning, so you can repeat it in your next essay.

1. Introduction: context, a clear thesis statement and a roadmap of the argument.
2. Outline: a paragraph-by-paragraph plan where each point supports the thesis.
3. Body paragraphs: point, evidence, analysis and link, so every paragraph earns marks.
4. Counter-arguments: evaluating other views to show critical thinking.
5. Conclusion: answering the question directly without adding new material.
6. Editing and referencing: clarity, grammar and consistent citations.

A good essay structure has an introduction with a clear thesis, body paragraphs that each make one point supported by evidence and analysis, and a conclusion that answers the question. The details change by level: GCSE essays follow assessment objectives, while university essays reward critical evaluation of sources.

UK university markers judge essays on argument, use of evidence, critical analysis, structure and referencing. A First (70+) shows a sustained, original argument; a 2:1 (60–69) is well argued and analytical; a 2:2 (50–59) is sound but more descriptive; a Third (40–49) shows basic understanding. Descriptors vary by university, so always check yours.

Each essay type has its own purpose and structure, so identify yours before planning. Argumentative essays defend a position, critical analysis essays evaluate a source or theory, and reflective essays use a model such as Gibbs. School and pre-university essays, such as the IB Extended Essay, have their own fixed rules.

IB word counts are from the International Baccalaureate.

PEEL stands for Point, Evidence, Explain and Link. Start with a clear point, support it with evidence, explain how the evidence proves the point, then link back to the question or forward to the next paragraph. Here is a short illustrative example from an English Literature essay on Macbeth.

Your referencing style is usually set by your department, but most subjects follow a familiar pattern: Harvard for business and social sciences, APA 7 for psychology, nursing and education, OSCOLA for law and Vancouver for medicine. Always follow your own handbook if it differs.

Official guides: APA Style, MLA Style Center and OSCOLA from the University of Oxford.

We help with every common essay type across humanities, social sciences, business, law and health. Each essay goes to an expert who has studied or teaches the subject, so the argument, terminology and sources fit your discipline.

• Essay types: argumentative, persuasive, analytical, compare-and-contrast, reflective (Gibbs, Kolb, Driscoll), literature and history essays, law problem questions (IRAC), IB extended essays, and UCAS personal statements or US college essays
• Popular subjects: English Literature, History, Law, Nursing, Economics, Business Management, Criminology, International Relations and Marketing

AI writing tools can produce text quickly, but they often invent sources, miss the specific question and marking criteria, and can't explain their reasoning. A human subject expert reads your brief, uses real academic sources and shows you why each part of the essay works.

Before you submit, check that your essay answers the exact question, meets the marking criteria, stays within the word count and references every source correctly. A five-minute final check often recovers marks that would otherwise be lost.

1. Does the introduction state a clear answer to the question?
2. Does every paragraph support that argument with evidence and analysis?
3. Have you addressed a counter-argument?
4. Are all in-text citations in your reference list, in the right style?
5. Is the word count within the allowed range?
6. Have you proofread for spelling, grammar and formatting?

Undergraduate essays are marked on a clear argument, accurate understanding and good use of sources, while postgraduate (master's) essays expect deeper critical engagement with theory, wider reading and an original perspective. Your expert adjusts the level of analysis, sources and structure to your degree.

Good essay technique is the same everywhere, but grading scales, referencing styles and exam essays differ by country. FLN tutors help students worldwide and follow your own marking criteria and style guide.

This fictional example shows how a tutor helps a student turn a question into a focused argument for a 2,000-word undergraduate history essay.

Question: "To what extent was economic hardship the main cause of the 1917 Russian Revolution?"

Sample introduction (student's own after feedback): By 1917, food shortages and inflation had made life in Russia's cities increasingly desperate. Yet hardship alone had not toppled the Tsar in earlier crises. This essay argues that economic hardship was a necessary condition, but that military defeat in the First World War was the main cause, because it broke the army's loyalty. It examines economic conditions, the war and Nicholas II's leadership in turn, before reaching a judgement.

The introduction answers the question directly, states the line of argument and shows the reader how the essay is organised.

Most lost marks come from the same handful of problems. Tutors check your draft against a list like this one.
