Does anyone mark essays?? I really need help

I study alevel edexcel philosophy, ethics and religion (Islam) and my teacher cannot teach. I do not know how to revise or where to start as the revision resources we were given are not comprehensible, online resources never refer to Islam when that is our religion of choice, and I can’t go to another teacher for help because there isn’t one. I am predicted a D which I find embarrassing (but fitting as I’ve never passed an ts exam) and I am aiming for a C at the very least. If I was to submit practice essays here would anyone be willing to mark them and provide feedback? Or can I just have any advice please

Difficult situation with Islam A level, there just aren't really any good resources for it online.

One option is to go to the edexcel website, find the specification, and make your own notes on each Islam topic. You should try and make a detailed 30 mark essay plan for every topic. That will also give you most of what you need for the 20 and 12 mark questions, since they can be seen as just shorter 30 markers (shorter and without synoptic links).

You'll basically have to do your own research for that. Put the words in the syllabus into google plus search terms like 'debates' or 'weaknesses of this view' etc.

Your best option though would be finding someone who goes to a proper school or an Islamic school whose teacher will actually have good notes - doesn't matter if it's for a different exam board it'll still be useful - and ask them to send you their notes.
