> An example of something my editor helped us with was giving us a vocabulary we could use to discuss structural problems.

Does anyone know what he's referring to when he mentions the vocabulary for structural problems? Is there a book/blog to learn about this?

I have the same problem. I feel like something is off with my writing but I can't describe it.

Consider the purpose of one of your essays. Pretend you are a member of the target audience. Read it.

Your experience of your essay will tell you a lot, and is all the guidance you need to become the best according to your judgment/taste.

Though it will not enable you to improve beyond... For that, you need to read expert writing, and perhaps an expert-coach of some kind.
