Do any of these sound familiar?
How would it feel to...
I've been achieving between 90-95% in my essays which I NEVER thought would be possible.
Before I started working with Chloe I was only just scraping a pass with my essays which was really getting me down. I'd even had an assessment returned twice because I hadn't reached the pass mark. Learning from Chloe has changed everything because I now know how to write a good essay.
I finally passed my assignment and since then I've been achieving between 90-95% in my essays which I NEVER thought would be possible. I actually enjoy studying now because my confidence in my abilities have grown. Chloe is truly amazing and she puts everything into helping students achieve their highest grades possible.

It's not your fault that you find essay writing a struggle
Writing a great essay requires a few things:
Apart from the practise part (setting you a load of essays to write), how many of these ingredients does your school or university teach you?
For about 99% of students (me included) that's NONE.
So it's not your fault you don't know how to write an essay...
because we don't know what we don't know.
We're not born with study skills – they need to be taught and developed over time.
We MUST be taught what good essay writing is, and the skills needed to write a great essay, because there's a lot of easy mistakes to make that are costing you marks, and there are *a lot* of ineffective methods out there.
The problem is - your university doesn't focus on teaching you these skills.
They only focus on teaching you the material.
Your tutor is supposed to give you feedback on the areas you could improve upon with each essay.
But they often just tell you WHAT you're doing wrong and WHAT you need to improve, when really you need the step-by-step HOW.
This means YOU have to take responsibility for developing your essay writing skills so you can find the whole essay process easier and achieve the grades you need to progress in your education and career.
If you're finding essay writing difficult right now, I have the solution.
You don't have to go it alone...
Write Better Essays LIVE is a virtual programme that will give you the skills, habits and confidence to write better essays…forever…that will knock your tutor’s socks off and allow you to achieve *your* dream grades.
Learn step-by-step essay writing strategies in the 1-day training then be fully supported and guided through a 6-week programme of accountability and coaching as you implement the learning to write your next WAY better essay.
You'll walk away with your next EPIC essay submitted, a personalised toolkit of essay writing techniques that you can use for all your future assignments, and the confidence and habits you need to make your essay writing process 10X easier.

**PLUS** TIER FOR 1-ON-1 SUPPORT
I've designed Write Better Essays LIVE to give you everything you need to seriously transform your essay writing and essay confidence.
However, sometimes you just want some extra guidance and one-on-one support to really boost your confidence in your writing.
Therefore, I'm offering just 10 PLUS spots into the programme.
On top of everything listed above in the standard tier, you'll also be able to submit a portion of your work each week for my review.
Each week you can send me ONE of the below options:
Alongside sending me a portion of your work, I’ll also be available for back and forth messaging or voice notes during the weekly review slot so if you've got any mindset wobbles or you're feeling stuck and not sure how to move forward, I'll be there to get you unstuck and back to making progress.
Here's what will happen during the Write Better Essays LIVE training day
Here's the logistics:
On Saturday 11th March, we’ll meet in Zoom for multiple training sessions. We’ll kick off at 10am UK time and the day will be split into three 1-2hour trainings with short breaks every half hour and longer breaks between trainings. Click here to check the timings for a different time zone.
During these interactive trainings, I’ll teach you step-by-step exactly how to write better essays. There will be simple exercises to embed the learning, plenty of examples for you to get to grips with how to apply the techniques to your written work, and the opportunity for you to ask me questions throughout.
During the training day, we’ll focus on six core areas of essay writing study skills:
You'll learn exactly how to breakdown your essay question and decipher the vague yet also somehow complicated guidance.
I'll walk you through how to get a base understanding of your essay question AND how to ensure your written work stays on track and doesn't go off on a tangent which, although could be very interesting, won't get you the marks.
It's really easy to lose your way in your essay writing. To feel like your points are written in any ol' order and you're not sure how to make them flow.
When I proofread students' work one of the biggest issues is how fluffy the writing is. Sentences are super long, there's lots of unimportant details and it takes 100 words to say something that could be said in 50.
So in this session you'll learn exactly how to write concisely AND how to structure the main body of your essays so that your work takes the reader (your tutor) by the hand and guides them all around your lovely writing. When the reader understands your points and can follow your arguments you'll get so many more marks!
Being able to engage in critical thinking and writing is a VITAL skill if you want to achieve anything other than a middle of the road grade.
But it can be a tricky skill to learn without clear, step-by-step instructions.
Luckily for you, in this session we're going to dive into critical thinking and you'll learn exactly how to apply this to your subject and course.
You'll learn how to build arguments that are clear, strong and persuasive. You'll learn how to critique your course materials rather than stay in 'descriptive land' which doesn't get you the high marks.
Your essay's introduction sets the scene for your work. While it doesn't take up a huge amount of word count it has a very important role.
If you can write a bangin' introduction that's clear and punchy then you'll nab some easy marks but more importantly, your tutor will realise you know what you're doing and they'll be primed to mark you highly.
In this session I'll teach you my simple 3-part formula for an epic introduction that'll boost your confidence for the rest of your essay writing AND make your tutor get excited to read on.
Then, let's not forget closing out your essay with a strong conclusion. This shouldn't just be the rushed few hundred words you scribble an hour before submission.
You know how frustrating it is to spend hours watching a movie and then it ends abruptly without wrapping up a single plot line or giving the characters any closure? That's what it's like for your tutor to read an essay with a slapdash conclusion.
In this session you'll learn exactly how to craft the perfect end to your essay, drawing together all your wonderful arguments so it's easy for your tutor to see that you've answered the question and then award you marks.
Throughout a class or module, your essay grades *should* increase from submission to submission. Now, there are caveats to this if your course throws lots of different types of assignments your way, but typically your essays should improve over time as you gain a deeper knowledge of your course material and practise your academic writing.
In this session I'm going to walk you through how to use your feedback to improve your grades between essays. Whether you get lots of feedback, minimal feedback or vague feedback – we can work with this to pinpoint small, simple tweaks you can make to move up that grade scale so you can achieve your dream grades.
In our final session we're going to put alllll of this learning together and craft *your* perfect essay writing process.
I'm going to walk you through, step-by-step, with plenty of examples, the best methods for planning out your essay writing process. All the way from when you first read the question, to when you study the relevant material, to planning your arguments, drafting your answer, polishing your work and submitting.
All too often I see students focus on all their reading and note taking for their course and then try to carve out time for essay writing (and it feels there's never enough). Instead, I flip this on its head and teach you how to prioritise your assessments and design the whole rest of your studying workload around getting you the essay grades you want.
If you're not around on the 11th or are only around for part of the day, don't worry.
The training day will be entirely recorded and the videos will be uploaded by the Sunday morning (and then you'll have lifetime access to them after that). I would recommend blocking out some time in your diary to catch up with any missed trainings within the first week, so that you make the most of the 6 weeks of support to WORK on your essay and implement all your snazzy new strategies.
Here’s what people are saying about my essay writing trainings
I was in a very bad place with my essay writing before working with Chloe and I was tying myself in knots about it. I kept procrastinating and putting it off and then stressing so much about it. I signed up with Chloe specifically to improve my essay writing skills and it worked - long live your Table Method! I really liked your presentation style, Chloe. It was engaging, bite-sized, fun and each module built on the previous one.
The biggest change I’ve noticed in has been my mindset. This term I’ve been procrastinating a lot less, my approach is more focused and my mindset is more confident and positive. I would definitely recommend your trainings to other students, even if you are a postgraduate student like me. You might not have been taught these skills in your professional life or previous academic journey. It’s important to build a solid foundation and fill in any missing gaps. Go for it!
Kelly
Education and International Development (MA) student
I came to Chloe at the end of my second year. I knew I needed to improve my marks otherwise it would be game over for becoming a barrister. I'd already tried really hard to achieve higher grades but I felt stuck. Chloe doesn’t read law but she helped me achieve higher grades by teaching me fundamental essay writing skills. She brought the best out of me, identified my weak spots and helped me improve these areas. She finally made me see what I needed to do to write a high grade essay.
Working with Chloe is like having the person who wrote the essay question right next to you. She knows exactly how to break down tasks and simplify guidance, and she knows what techniques to use for different essays. Chloe is a very calm coach. She was always there for me and always used her full potential to help me.
My second year results pre-Chloe were 53, 54, 62 and 59. My third year results after working with Chloe jumped to 76, 74 and 76. With Chloe’s help I achieved the final grade I needed for the Bar course. I am completely overwhelmed with happiness and gratitude and I feel like a massive weight has been lifted off of my chest.

Write Better Essays LIVE will be perfect for you if...
Write Better Essays LIVE might not be for you if...
Here's why you need to join Write Better Essays LIVE
You could choose not to enrol and try to figure this out on your own.
But that takes time. And, hard truth here...
...depending on how far through your course you are, you don't necessarily have time.
Because each essay grade you achieve is impacting your final degree classification.
Either your grades are directly going towards your final classification or they're setting the foundation for future essays that will.
So if your grades are not at the level you want to graduate with, it's time to act NOW.
The longer you wait to improve your grades the harder it's going to be to make up for those lower ones.
I've been learning about study skills and academic writing for the past TEN years. I've spent thousands of hours and thousands of £££ learning all about learning: how to study in the most effective way; how to become an epic academic writer; how to develop confidence and habits that will make essay writing more enjoyable, less stressful and lead to better results.
A typical 3-year degree in the UK costs £27,750 in fees alone.
For just 0.7% of that you can take action to ensure you come out of that degree with the grades you need to move forward with your education and career.
I don't want you to have to spend TEN years and multiple thousands of £££ to learn how to write better essays.
Because I can teach you in just ONE day for just £195.
Now, while I will run WBEL again, it likely won't be until the 23/24 academic year gets underway in autumn.
– So, are you happy with where your essay grades are right now?
– If these grades were to continue, would you graduate with the degree classification you want?
– Are you happy with the time and energy it's taking you to achieve your current grades?
If the answer to any of these questions is no, you're going to want to join us in Write Better Essays LIVE.
6 weeks from now, if you don't enrol, what will your studying and essay writing look like? More of the same?
Overwhelm, late nights, disappointment when you receive your next marked essay back, panicked emails to tutors asking for extensions?
Or, enrol in WBEL and 6 weeks from now you'll have submitted or be close to submitting an absolutely epic essay. You'll feel like a completely different student – calmer, more confident, more motivated.
You'll have streamlined your essay writing process and learned the better, smarter ways to study. You'll have built awesome new study habits and routines that will serve you in all your future studying and you'll have a whole toolkit of simple essay writing strategies you can crack out in all your assignments, in this course and in any future studying you do – and you can even use them professionally when it comes to applying for jobs, sending important emails or writing professional docs.
I'm here to help. I *know* you can become a better essay writer and have an easier time of it. I've already helped 100s do it.
Now it's your turn.

Frequently Asked Questions
The training day will be entirely recorded and the videos will be uploaded by the Sunday morning (and then you'll have lifetime access to them after that). Yes, the training day is a key part of the programme but it would definitely be possible to achieve the same results by catching up with the recordings. It may even work better for some students to do it this way because you could pause the videos or take breaks in between the sessions to action the strategies.
If you can't make the live training then I would recommend blocking out some time in your diary to catch up within the first week, so that you make the most of the 6 weeks of support to WORK on your essay and implement all your snazzy new strategies.
The training itself will consist of 6 hours of interactive, AWESOME learning.
Depending on how you learn best this can be done all in one go, live, on Saturday 11th March. Or you could break it down and watch the trainings at your own pace (and you'll always have access to them).
Then, it's up to you how much time you commit to the 6-weeks of group support. There are no other live sessions or calls to try to fit into your busy schedule.
Instead, there will be posts and prompts to help you create study plans and stay accountable to them. You'll be supported to build new study habits alongside working on your next essay.
So I would recommend popping into the group, on your laptop or through a free app on your phone, a few times a week for 5-10 minutes each.
If you take one of the PLUS spots then you'll be able to submit parts of your work to me each week and ask me questions specifically about your writing and essays so you would need to factor in a little bit more time to make full use of that.
The programme is designed for you to invest time in learning how to write better essays NOW so that you reap the rewards in all your future essay writing. And in fact, enrol in WBEL, follow the plan and you'll SAVE a boatload of time in all your future essay writing.
The real transformation of the programme is taking it alongside working on an essay. That way you can apply your learning in real-time to a piece of work that you’ll get then an epic grade for! Therefore, I will be running WBEL again but probably not until the autumn as that aligns with the start of the 23/24 academic year for many students. However, if there is interest from enough students to run one in the summer I may consider it.
Nope. I don't need to be an expert in your subject-matter because I'm an expert in learning and study skills.
I am not a tutor who will teach you the content of your course. I am a study skills trainer who will teach you the strategies and mindset shifts you need to improve how you study, so you can get better grades forever.
This means I can help a wider range of people studying a wider amount of courses. I studied Business but I've worked with students from every subject imaginable.
*Although I've yet to work with someone studying one of the many Harry Potter university courses!*
The aim of the support in WBEL is to help you become a more independent essay writer so that after the 6 weeks you can plan, write and edit all your essays and academic writing confidently.
So the thread running through the support will be helping you to develop this confidence. So rather than supporting you by doing the work for you and answering all your specific questions about your upcoming essay, my support will be more about coaching you to find the best solution for YOU.
The training materials are epic. There are step-by-step instructions, tons of examples and worksheets to help you apply the techniques to your written work.
And if common questions are asked by the group then additional trainings will be added during the 6-week support period.
If you enrol on the PLUS level then more support is included. On top of everything listed in the standard tier, you'll also be able to submit a portion of your work each week for my review.
Each week you can send me ONE of the below options:
– Up to 500 words of your essay for me to proofread.
– The question and guidance.
– Your essay plan.
– A marked essay and feedback.
Alongside sending me a portion of your work, I’ll also be available for back and forth messaging or voice notes during the weekly review slot so if you've got any mindset wobbles or you're feeling stuck and not sure how to move forward, I'll be there to get you unstuck and back to making progress.
You will have a login to access all the training recordings, slides, transcripts and resources for the life of my business, with many of the materials downloadable to your devices.
If/when I remove the course you will be able to download any remaining materials first. So it's yours for keeps, forever.
Great question.
Three years ago I created a training called Essays With Ease. This was delivered live and then formed into a self-study course afterwards. Some of the concepts I'm teaching in WBEL will be the same but there are plenty of new ideas and the content will be upgraded as over the last few years I’ve worked with hundreds more students on their essay writing and I’ve created more super awesome strategies for planning, writing and editing essays.
Also, the focus of EWE was on the training itself whereas WBEL has a dual focus of study skills training AND supported implementation. After the training day on Saturday 11th March, there will be 6 weeks of accountability, support and encouragement in a private community. You’ll learn HOW to write great essays in 1 day and then I’ll be by your side for 6 weeks as you implement these strategies and work on your next essay(s).
If you were a previous customer of EWE then you should have received an email regarding how to upgrade to WBEL. If you have not received this then please click here to send me a quick email.
Alternatively, send me a DM over on Instagram @chloe.burroughs and we can chat there.
The real transformation of the programme is taking it alongside working on an essay. That way you can learn HOW to write a better essay during the training and then apply your learning during the 6 weeks of support in real-time to a piece of work that you’ll get then an epic grade for!

More happy students
Since starting my degree I have struggled to get anything higher than low 60s in my essays. My tutor feedback was always telling me that my writing was not concise, it was too descriptive, my structure needed work and I needed to express myself better. I started to doubt whether I was smart enough to do this degree but thankfully I found Chloe.
I applied her advice to my last essay and scored 77%! After telling Chloe my score she seemed so proud I had accomplished such a jump. I will always come back to Chloe for help in the future and would recommend her to anyone who is struggling.
Paige Maloney
Psychology student
As a previous student, Chloe understands the pressures we're going through and can offer tailored support when you need it, and in creative ways. Her study skills strategies are great and helped me change how I work so instead of repeating the same mistakes, I changed my way of thinking. I always struggled with essay writing, especially writing concisely, sticking to the question and using critical thinking. I implemented Chloe's advice and my essay grades soared. I went from achieving essay grades between 55-65% to essay grades of 75-85%.
Chloe’s friendly, open approach is what embeds her system. She starts off being your study skills trainer, but quickly and easily becomes your ‘critical friend’. I would recommend Chloe to anyone with a desire to achieve the very best they can.
Sarah Menzies
Business Management student
Before receiving help from Chloe I was struggling to meet the scores I needed to gain the results necessary for my course and at the end of my second year of university I was failing. I struggled with motivation, mindset, confidence and the critical thinking skills I so badly needed.
When I first signed up for Chloe’s training I was nervous. I shouldn’t have been. Chloe presents and breaks down each step very well and it was such an enjoyable experience working with her. By the end I was extremely motivated. I was able to use the tools Chloe gave me to think differently about assignment questions and my results improved from 60% to 80%.
The help Chloe has given me throughout my third year was invaluable and the only regret I have is not getting involved with her sooner.
Ashleigh Pearce
International Studies graduate
My study skills used to be average and my essay grades were in the 50s and 60s. With Chloe's help I'm now feeling a lot more positive and I'm so excited to smash my degree. I've now achieved two 85% essay grades! If you want to improve your study skills and learn how to get high grades...Chloe's trainings are the only way forward - helpful guidance and a lovely person in general!

I am so, so excited to kick off this programme
While essay writing is a part of studying that a lot of students hate or feel stressed out by, it is honestly my favourite subject to teach.
My whole mission of study skills training centres around the idea that natural talent is NOT the main ingredient of academic success. Instead, smart study strategies, some hard work and good support are the answers. And no area demonstrates this better than essay writing.
I LOVE demystifying good academic writing and creating simple, step-by-step frameworks to turn even the scariest skill (hello critical thinking) into something that's completely doable.
Nothing pleases me more than hearing about my students have improved their marks by 10/20/30/40%…just by learning HOW to write better essays.  Students who were close to dropping out, or on track for a 2:2 or Third-class degree; students who'd lost hope or told themselves that their career dreams just weren't possible. These students took action to improve their essay writing and everything changed for them. Bigger goals were set and achieved, dreams became realities.
You don't have to be confident in your studying before joining Write Better Essays LIVE. Instead, bring along some determination, show up and do the work with me right by your side, and your confidence (and grades) will take care of themselves.
