English lit Alevel essay help please

Hi, so I need help with how to structure my essays, I do AQA, I'm having trouble with how I'm supposed to add in all of the context, text analysis, critics and my own opinion in the essays, and do the other questions. I have extra time but I still run out of time so I'm missing the stuff that gets me the marks.

Hey!
A-level Lit essays don't really have a set structure as everyone prefers to write slightly differently, so as long as you're getting all the content in and the argument is easy to follow you should be good. I never followed a structure for each paragraph and just wrote however made the most sense.
If you'd like, I could take a look at some essays or essay plans you've done and give you advice on the structure, as that'd give me a better idea of what exactly you're struggling with. I don't want to write out a bunch of advice you might already know. You could send it here or message me if you want.
Also, remember that you don't have to write your own opinions - I wrote things that I completely disagreed with sometimes cause they were easier to write about/find evidence for.
