FERGUS Gardiner

ENGLISH TEACHER AND HSC COWORKS FOUNDER

HSC CoWorks Founder Fergus has worked as a teacher across various schools in Sydney since 1984. In 1996, he founded the first HSC CoWorks campus in Bondi Junction, as well as the HSC CoWorks online portal which provides HSC students with a ‘system’ for writing essays and access to an expert essay marking service which allows students to practice their writing.Β 

With his passion for supporting students develop the skill of essay writing and engaging them in the process of learning, he has developed a strong following from families across Sydney.

This workshop takes the guesswork out of how to write a great essay and will provide students with a systematic approach to essay writing, giving them the tools they need to craft high-quality essays.

ESSAY WRITING WORKSHOP – 60 MINUTES

Over this 60 minute workshop Fergus will facilitate engaging exercises which will ensure that students leave having made real progress in their HSC English text.

At the end of this session students will:Β 
Have assembled all of the ingredients that will make up their 1000-1200 word essay (rather than having pages and pages of ‘notes’ and having no idea how to start writing an essay).
Feel confident that the information that they have assembled addresses the rubric for each module of work.
Have a structure which will be able to deal with any essay question they receive in the exam room.

FREE RESOURCES FOR EVERY STUDENT

Every student in attendance of the workshop will receive the following to support with their HSC preparation;

  • A 50 page Planning Pad – Every student has the same amount of hours to prepare for their HSC. The student who plans their time effectively will come out on top!

At HSC CoWorks, we emphasise the power of mindmaps for a student’s daily syllabus training. Mindmaps help students break down complex topics, see connections, and retain information more effectively. They’re an essential tool for organised study, making sure no part of the syllabus is overlooked, and empowering students to approach their HSC with confidence and clarity. 
How would you feel if you knew the syllabus as well as the top HSC students? 
How confident would you feel to attempt practice questions and essays if you knew the syllabus for the topic inside and out?
How ready would you be for an exam if you were taking a roadmap of the syllabus into the exam room with you.. inside of your brain?
Mindmaps take 5-10mins and should be a daily practice for any HSC student. #hsc2025 #hsccoworks #hscstudytips
