No one really teaches us how to write proper essays, let alone how to write a first class one. But over time, as both a student and supervisor at Cambridge University, I’ve come up with this easy to follow formula. You can apply it to ANY essay question and I’m confident it’ll turn your essays into a first class masterpiece every time. It’s got me a first every single year at University and it’s the formula I teach all my students. Now, I want to share this formula with you using a worked example 🗣😄.

Doctor Shaene how would you allocate the word count between the sections?
Intro try to keep it to 3-4 sentences. Main body should be the bulk. Then 3-4 sentences to finish the conclusion.
Please , around how many words should my CLT be ?

Can this method be used in like a history essay? e.g. "discuss the Italian unification and the German unification, what are the similarities?"
I never believed those memes about that one guy on RUclips being better than most of your teachers until now.
Hahaha elite comment
@@DoctorShaene Thanks!
@Plot twist titles sup
Hhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Lollll
I learned more about how to properly write an essay in the 10 minutes of this video than I did in 2 years in school.
That's just beautiful, isn't it.
SO TRUE!!!!!
I haven't felt so powerful by having the power to make this comment 1k
Lol! If you ever need help with your assignments, reach out to me.
I have been teaching a version of this at my previous school for MLA papers and they began hating how strict I was about introducing writing formulas because children complained about not wanting to follow an organized structure.
That school is currently shut down. I work for a writing company that allows me to promote my formulas ;)
i know right?
I finally found a bloody essay video that gets straight to the point omg everyone that has talked on this topic waffle about a bunch of nothing !
Omg I agree! Too many hours I have wasted watching people waffle on! This is amazing
I searched how to write an essay and this was the first video I clicked.. Lucky me.
@@dukedex5043 lucky you, the first video I found was this one gut that mumbled a hour on the introduction
@@PitOfDepression lol. 100% This was a good Video. It's really helpful.
@@dukedex5043 yeah me too
This showed me how important a good primary school is. I learned this exact "formula" in my 6th grade english class. I've received an A on almost every single essay in school with minimal effort. I always wondered why so many people struggled with writing, but now I realize it's because they weren't taught how to write.
facts
yeah
It's not so simple. People don't always understand the question, or choose a good way to formulate a clear concise question. They also get lost in their explanations, don't choose best examples, don't have good knowledge and understanding of some key concepts they are talking about. So it's not just about having a good structure, and being good at writing
The struggle with those struggling people is due to the fact that they had been hiding from the professors when it is time for them to attend classes. Or some of them fall asleep after going to the late night hangouts with friends.
I appreciate the effort the creator has put into this video. Wholeheartedly I do, but it is not still up to university standard even if this is somewhere at Oxford/Cambridge. On the spot, we know that he didn’t put any references and citations which is a sign of lacking academic integrity. Secondly, there is no linking sentence between paragraphs. Third, there is no vivid examples provided in support of his statement.
And some people here be like ‘10 minutes has been worth more than 3 years at a university’. Guys, you have wasted your parents hard-earned money😅
it may not be the only reason but yes, we weren't taught a thing abt writing essays 💀💀
This has helped simplify so much of essay writing and I've seen a big grade jump in my essays compared to my first year in university, thanks for making it so digestable !!
That’s great news!
A little advice can go a long way!
I'd rather have paid him my uni fees since I've learnt more from him than I have at uni in the last 3 years...
Hahaha 😭
@@DoctorShaene so how much r u gonna ask for😏
which uni?
@@billyireland4890 I feel like uni Oxford
Lol 😂
i always go back to this video whenever i feel stuck and unconfident with my essays. and it constantly reminds me that i am on the right track and i should go on in building it!
Glad to hear it!
I am doing this right now!
This video came at the perfect time, thank you!
Hope you found it useful! 😀
Yeah I hate Google doc essays. The wall of text confuses me I prefer slides
I've gone back to this video so many times, I love how clear and to the point this video is, and the formula is great. Thank you loads!
Yesss 🙌 Best of luck!!
Haha, entering a Cambridge essay competition right now. Could not have discovered you at a better time.
Best of luck!

OMGGG, I needed this so much. This allowed me to finish an essay in 2 hours, as opposed to 1 whole day!! Thank you!

It is very generous of you to share this information. So helpful, and so undertaught in schools / at universities.
Some people don't like sharing their secrets to success, I always have love and admiration for those who think about other people before aggrandizing themselves as genius essay writers or genius anythings.
see this ruclips.net/video/Oy7R6ticmag/видео.html
Thank you so much for this video, I went back to uni after 17 years to do a MA. I had no idea how to write essays. I have got distinctions in my first two essays partly because I followed this guide. This is simple straight forward and better than any book I've read about structuring essays. N.B This is a great essay structure for any discipline and gave me the confidence to use diagrams.
*Nobody told me that (profpiperr on IG) could handle my assignments and essays with such professionalism and deliver them on time. I love the services!**
ruclips.net/video/Fed5EVWOUD0/видео.html
I'm just about to be in this same position! You comment gives me hope! Thanks to both you and Dr S!
Me too! Is there any tips you can give for making it easier to write essays
Found this video looking for a helpful guide, and I'm so grateful honestly! I wrote and submitted my essay with the help of this video and i got first place among my age group in a national level competition. Thank you so much! ✨
We love to see it 🙏🏽
As a mature student struggling to write essays, this has helped me so much. Thanks a million!
Brilliant video, always struggled with structuring my essays in first year. This has helped me a lot for second year, Great work!
I’m nowhere on any you all’s level as I’m planning to complete get my GED so I can go into a project management program. For years I’ve struggled with ADD, this video is straight to the point and very helpful. Thanks!
It’s kind of funny how in his introduction he says “this essay will discuss” my teacher says that you should never use this in your introduction 😂
@@herbertj3105 how much $
@@mahadhayat7440 Don't do it, the essays are most likely going to be plagiarized which could get you in major trouble.
Happy
thats why it's ironic because in so many academic papers and uni textbooks, they always say "this essay will discuss"
"This essay will discuss.." is his thesis statement. Readers must be guided as to what you are going to discuss throughout your essay. So, it is a MUST. However, I don't think it's a good idea that your thesis statement should be stated that way because it lessens the strength of your composition. There are other ways it can be expressed.
Your videos are amazing I'm binging them now. The conciseness, how informative they are and the explanations. I need you as my friend for my final year of studies!! 🥺🥺
ruclips.net/video/3zNXUAhPI9c/видео.html
Such an amazing description of how to structure and be analytical. But what’s more, it was not over lengthy and concise. I’ll be using it with my students!
Thank you so much. I loved how your video was straight to the point and concise. I've always struggled with idea gathering and filtering into my essays but your brilliant format has really cleared up things and I am now looking forward to get back to writing my essay. Thank you very much indeed, Doctor Shaene.
I'm doing my Cambridge O Level IGSCE this year and English is my weakest subject. So watching this is really helpful. Keep up the good work 😃
same case
literally same, paper 1 is next week lmao
Hey! One year later.. how did it go??!
This video has helped me so much! For someone that struggles with structure a lot this was very straightforward and easy to understand.
Thanks! 🥰
This is AMAZING! I have watched so many help videos on this subject and yours is head and shoulders above them all. Thank you so much I am going to put this into practice and will let you know. It will be my very first essay year 1 of my ODP degree!

I still come back to this video at the beginning of every semester. Always a helpful refresher!
I love how you provided examples for every part of the essay! Thank youuu
This deserves to have millions of views.
Thanks!
Amazing explanation!! Thank you so much! So precise and clear! You helped me a lot
I am writing my first essay assignment and i definitely am going to use this essay writing style. Thanks, Doctor Shaene. Your work is brilliant.
Thank you for this video, I followed your structure, and for the main body outlined key points, provide evidence to back it up, critically analysed it and then related it to the question and bagged myself a distinction for my essay which I managed to write in a day. You're the man Dr Shaene. Anytime you're in Cambridge and want to go for a coffee let me know its on me.
THIS IS GOLDEN. Thank you so much for the breakdown of how to write an essay!
Truly useful!
my lecturer showed me this, thank you for the wonderful advice ❤️
Thank you!! I’ve not written academically for over 10 years so have found it hard getting back into it. This has helped me make a start :)
OMG. Thank you so much for this. I was dreading Essay writing for an exam. This helped a lot.
amazing video!! straight to the point and no waffling, perfect !!
We love to see it!
I learnt more in this video than my entire 6 hours at online school.

can we all appreciate how clear he was and the editing.
Great and practical presentation. I love the way you used an example to convey your points. Thank you.
You helped me go from 53 to 70 all just because of this video. You're more than amazing!
Thank you so much! Your videos are very helpful, concise and inspiring, even though I'm not a medical student:))
Thankyou so much, Ive always been unsure on how to write essays and have always been average for english which is going to pull down my overall grade for grade 12. Watching this has truly helped me understand what I need to do in essays and hopefully I can get this to an A too
This short video is phenomenal. Thank you!
As a post graduate engineering student, your video was of very high quality and informative in a very relevant way. I'm not surprised you were making A's. Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
You're life saver mate. Thank you so much. I'm doing open university. And things like this should be set out as simple as you have done right here. I got it. I now have an introduction and my body draft after scratching my head for days.
ruclips.net/video/nQvcbt6vIs8/видео.html
Sounds amazing!
Amazing breakdown and great explanation along with example.👍
Thank you so much! This was so informational!!! Loved it! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I'm glad my English facilitator at university taught me this exact essay technique. This worked out well for me as I managed to score an "A" in my final grade mark. 😁
bruh thank u sm you’re a life saver ;-; ♡
i have downloaded over 15 books on essay writing. this video tell yous how to precisely and critically analyse . thanks doc
My God, Dr. Shaene, where have you been? I have literally just submitted an essay and how I wish I had watched this before! You’re on point! God bless you 🙏🏾
Doctor Shaene, thank you very much for sharing your idea about writing an essay. From the last two weeks, I have been writing and deleting because I was not satisfied about my writing. Now, I am going to try your method and hopefully it will work.
Best of luck!!
@@DoctorShaenecan you please help me with my essay. It’s synthesis.
If you know anything about a statistics lab report could you do a video of that? This was super helpful so I subscribed to keep an eye on things ☺️
Thank you so much!
I really needed this support. I am currently progressing swiftly and I wish your channel even greater success in the future.
Thank you! Best of luck! :)
Thanks for sharing this information. My first main essay is due in two weeks and I am going to follow your exact points.
Thank you, this is a very helpful breakdown that I intend to use for my next psychology paper. Also, I love the color-coding. The world needs a little more color and lightness these days. 💕
Thanks shaene, I'm gonna use this method for the English tests

OMG i loved this! Thank you so much Dr Shane for sharing this with us : )
Thank you so much, it has been really beneficial, I was wondering if you could give us some pointers on how to perform critical analysis
oh wow, the structure is basically how i write essays! i love writing essays.. but it just takes me forever when im not in the mood;-;
Hello, I assist students with their essays and online classes. DM or reach me on my email: alexchege13@gmail.com
this is beautiful and madness at the same time. you sir, literally saved my life
Thank you for being such a life saver Shaene
Thank you for this! So concise and answered my confusions!!
Thank you for this video,it just on time. My 1st essay deadline is on 23rd of March so I can write perfect one.
Best of luck!
Lemme laud this lad for giving us such info of writing an essay. Thank you! 😊
Of course I come across this video AFTER I had to submit my recent essay.
Anyway, this a really good video. It’s helped me realize what I could have improved in my essay.
Thank you so much! I’m in grade 9 and all this English work just overwhelmed me so I did basically nothing in school my teacher noticed and allowed me to write an essay and if I get and 80% or more then I will pass and I got a 96% and no summer school yay
Thank you for this !! I got an A in my exam because of you ahh, so grateful
Amazing!! Well done!
Saw the quality editing in this vid and straight away knew this was legit. Thanks 🙏🏼
Too kind 🙏🏽
Concise, understandable and logical. A nice video that really does boil down the characteristics of a good essay, I feel inspired to get mine done now
Dude, i have to take a SAT next week i appreciate you doing this.
Best of luck!! 🙏🏽
I’m really want to go this stem next year and i was worried about what materials i would need for the essays and what I would need to know. Then I saw tutoring options, and they were 60 dollars an hour, and thats too much. So i open RUclips and i search stem essay essentials and found this. This is so good, i feel like I’m ready for what’s next, great job, this is better than what i learned in school for that past 3 years! Just one problem, the examples you used are way, way to hard for me to understand, because I’m only in 8th grade, other than that, its amazing.
Really insightful, it’s explained in depth, but simple and broken down well, thanks your method works for all subjects
this literally saved me! i got perfect scores in my essay exams ever since i watched this❤️
Liked, smashed the subscribed button, and started thinking of my next essay! I feel as if you have just handed me the genetic code of essay writing. Maybe you should think of expanding this concept into a book. It's brilliant!
And that's exactly why I love the likes of u. So supportive and loving. The exact definition of a human being.
Thank u so much sir, for these kind words. God bless ya. 🙏

I have a FSA test tomorrow and this will come in handy. THANKS :)
Best of luck!
Thank you, doctor, your video really helped me a lot with my assignments
Thanks for the tips! :DD so underrated! God bless you
Introduction:
Define - Define the key points in the question and use those key points to create an introduction. [Ex. 1:33]
Outline - Mention what the essay will cover or what the argument will be to allow readers to know what they’ll expect [Ex. 3:07]
Main Body:
Select the best 3 key points to create 3 separate main body paragraphs on those 3 key points.
First Sentence - use the first sentence of the paragraph to convey the key point [Ex. 4:29]
Second sentence - provide important evidence that backs up your key point
[Ex. 4:41]
Third sentence - Critically analyze the piece of evidence such as talking about how good the study was that lead to the evidence, how valid and reliable it is, or what improvements could be made.
Fourth sentence - relate back to the question [Ex. 5:21]
2 More ways to highlight evidence in a main body:
Diagrams - Diagrams convey a lot of information very quickly which is easier for examiners to see rather than writing many details about how it works. [Ex. 5:55]
Active Subheadings - A heading that’s a Alsentence that summarizes your whole paragraph, it tells the examiner what the paragraph is going to be about. [6:39]
Conclusions:
The conclusion summarizes the whole argument, bring it to a nice end, and lastly gives a verdict. [Ex. 7:12]
Thank You

Damn not gonna lie I suck at writing essays but after watching this video I feel a little confidence.
Essay writing can be very difficult, and the amazing work you are doing by explaining the complicated topics in such an easy way. Keep doing good work 🔥
thank you so much, about to write my first academic essay and I am glad I saw this now.
Wow, I love you. Prevented a lot of stressed-out tears from me 🤣
Glad I could help
Could you talk about the importance of original arguements in essays. I think that helps get higher marks but I would just like to know how to not get distracted from the question
Hey! Maybe check out the other video I have on scientific essays where I talk about using original points more 😊
Wow! Absolutely spectacular video. Long story short! I have been thinking the whole f*** time about how am I gonna write a bloody essay. Now it seems I got exactly what I needed.
You make me feel writing an essay is just a piece of cake Thanks, mate
this has helped me so much. I left an essay that was due the next day at the last minute lol. I got full marks this is such a lifesaver thank you so much
im in my final year of uni now and i used to do a lot of this like sub headings and diagrams i got marked down and told it wasnt academic to use subheadings and i shouldnt use diagrams i should write the information in a paragraph instead
i love you, doing psychology and this is so helpful
This is very helpful! Simple explanation but 100% quality.
Thank you so much for this. I have been looking for such for a long time.
I'm a 5th Grader, and I've signed up for an essay competition tomorrow. These tips are really helpful. (I understand this kids are not dumb) Edit: the key words in the theme is literally the theme itself- I miss going to school
i wish i was that smart at 5th grade lol
this video is genuinely a lifesaver, any difference between how i should write for example the intro, if I'm doing a critical assessment of a policy or something like that (i do science geography). Honestly great video!
