Our virtual coaching offerings are here to stay

Nov 27, 2020

Across the globe there is a virtual learning revolution going on with millions of students from Kindergarten through to University completing their learning via Zoom and other similar platforms. 

While face to face school largely returned to normal fairly quickly for our students across Sydney and NSW, University lectures and tutorials for our team of coaches were mostly delivered virtually through to the end of this current semester and from all accounts the virtual delivery of university courses will continue into 2021 and beyond with a ‘blended’ university experience across virtual and face to face learning. 

Given the changing world of university and work that our students will be entering into and the enormous efficiencies for students, parents, coaches and teachers HSC CoWorks will continue to offer a range of Virtual Coaching opportunities for our students including a full virtual campus for students who are happy to work from the comfort of their home or cannot attend one of our physical campuses by attending only virtual sessions. 

We have a dedicated team of virtual coaches and teachers who are available across the week to support our students outside of their allocated sessions to receive coaching and support as they need it.

‘Zoom a teacher’

Book a call with one of our highly experienced HSC teachers to receive support and improve understanding for a current topic or English text or to get extra support for an upcoming assessment task. Calls typically go for 15 – 20 minutes and are focused on improving thinking and building confidence to allow the student to move forward. The teachers have a range of times available for students to book these calls.

LIVE Q&A on Zoom

Every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday we run a support on demand service where students can jump on a Zoom to receive expert support as they need it whilst working from home. By joining the call and having the opportunity to collaborate, problem solve and brainstorm students can continue to make progress towards their goals rather than getting stuck and potentially losing momentum. 

 

Students simply need to hover over the ‘Live’ button in the student portal to see which coaches/teachers are working. 

 

  • Mondays 6pm to 8pm 
  • Wednesdays 6pm to 8pm 
  • Thursdays – 6pm to 8pm (Science only with Teacher Adrian)

2hr Weekend Virtual Sessions

Each weekend our face to face students have the option to join our 2hr virtual weekend support sessions in place of attending a face to face session allowing students to attend a session from anywhere with an internet connection or alternatively they might simply be seeking specific support from one of the coaches or teachers working a virtual session. 

 

Our face to face sessions continue to be as popular as ever but in a post COVID world Zoom has firmly cemented it’s place in both learning and the world of work which is why our HSC CoWorks virtual offerings are here to stay.

For most Year 12 students, Trial Exams are officially behind you! 🎉 Take a few days to switch off, reset and enjoy the feeling of having made it through!

Then it’s time to turn your attention to the final stretch. Trials aren’t meant to be perfect. They’re exactly what the name suggests, a trial run for the real thing.

So embrace the mistakes. Look closely at where marks were lost. Get feedback. Work out what needs to change and adjust your approach.

The next few weeks aren’t about starting again. They’re about refining, improving and building confidence from everything you’ve already done.

You’ve come this far. You’ve got this. 💪

Celebrating 30 years of HSC CoWorks! 💫

In 1996, @fergusgardiner started working with a small group of HSC students in Bondi Junction. His ability to inspire a genuine passion for learning particularly in English quickly saw that small group grow through word of mouth.

Fergus’ wife @carollgardiner alongside their son @jesseperformancecoach and his wife @sarahgards7 joined the business as it grew, helping to establish campuses in Mosman, Chatswood, Lindfield, Dee Why and Balgowlah. Jesse and Sarah now lead the organisation alongside an incredible team of more than 100 coaches, markers, teachers, an amazing Head Office and Web Development team, and also Emily and Nick who joined our team this year. There have been plenty of ups and downs, milestones, obstacles and lessons along the way, and HSC CoWorks wouldn’t be where it is today without the incredible people who have been part of it over the years.

And to every student who has walked through our doors and every parent who has trusted us to play a part in their child’s education, THANK YOU. Your support and trust over the past 30 years means more to us than we can say. We are so grateful to have worked with your child during the most important stage of their schooling career and thank you for championing our program as we strive to support young people develop the skills, habits and mindset that will support them long after their HSC.

And of course to our own family, especially our three children who put up with having both parents in the business and many weekends and evenings spent around the dinner table building new ideas, solving problems, packing study toolkits and everything in between!

We’re incredibly proud of what has been built over the past three decades, but even more excited about what comes next.

Thank you,
Jesse, Sarah, Fergus & Carol Gardiner

The HSC matters. But what students build along the way matters even more.

The HSC year is your training ground for life.. where you can develop skills like how to plan ahead, take ownership, tackle challenges, respond to feedback and perform under pressure.

These aren’t just skills for getting through Year 12. They’re the skills, mindset and habits that you will take with you into university, work and whatever comes next.

At HSC CoWorks, our role is to provide the structure, support, coaching and accountability that helps students develop these capabilities, while working towards their HSC goals.
