WHAT FAMILIES ARE SAYING

Kate

Our three children have all benefitted from the coaching at HSC CoWorks Mosman. Not only did CoWorks ensure they were prepared for all the Year 12 threw at them, but the skills acquired at CoWorks have been taken forth into tertiary studies. I would also like to commend CoWorks on its responsiveness to the Covid 19 pandemic; the online tutoring put in place ensured the students were able to still receive quality support from the home environment. Thank you Ferg, Jesse, Carol, Sarah and the team for your unwavering support.

Isobel

I'm almost 10 years out of school now. I wouldn't have got to where I am today if it wasn't for HSC CoWorks (it was called Ferg HSC back in my day!). As I reflect on my final years, the support I had from these guys is one of my highlights.

Sally

CoWorks offered our daughter next-level skills and tools to support her Y11 &12 journey to HSC. The greatest aspect for us (parents) was her enthusiasm to attend each week. She took responsibility for booking and really enjoyed how relevant and relatable the tutors were. She looked forward to her weekly sessions and made them a priority. We believe CoWorks added a further dimension to her learning journey and through the development of skills, fostered a greater enjoyment of learning.

A big thank-you to all at CoWorks, a great experience from beginning to end.

Thank you CoWorks for helping me so much through my HSC experience! The amazing website holds so many resources for all of my subjects that allowed me to receive invaluable feedback from experienced HSC markers that I used to develop my work. During this challenging year the CoWorks coaches and markers were vital in providing me with the motivation I needed to keep me engaged with my academic goals as well as developing my time management and organisation skills. I would recommend CoWorks to every year 12 student!

Francesca

My HSC experience was undoubtedly enhanced by the HSC CoWorks program. The extensive range of resources via the portal in addition to the highly-qualified coaches (who, unlike traditional tutoring services, had a vested interest in supporting me beyond the tutoring hours) facilitated me in substantially boosting my results throughout year 12. Beyond academic rigour, CoWorks has provided me with life-long skills - such as time-management, planning, goal-setting, organisation and motivation - which I believe has set me up really well for my years beyond school. A big thank you to Jesse, Sarah and the 2020 Dee Why coaches team.

I can’t recommend this HSC COworks highly enough! The support they provide for both students and parents is exceptional. The tutors are incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely care about student success. The online portal is impressive, making it easy for students to track their progress and stay motivated. It fosters accountability. Also, the regular updates keep me fully informed about their academic journey, which is invaluable. Overall, a fantastic experience that has truly enhanced my son's learning!

Kira

Absolutly fabulous, my daughter used the 2 days a week for both year 11 and 12 and it was absolutly invaluable. Her organisation, confidence in how to study and marks all improved substatially. ALways heard great things about the lectureres and the online support as well. What a great business you are running, I have already recommended you to many many families. It was also great to take much of the study stress out of the house and the 2 days a week keeps a great rhythm for study so they dont procrastinate and fall behind. I can not emphasize enough how invlauable this has been. absolutly 5 stars.

Coworks was really helpful for my daughter in adapting to year 12 in Australia and the HSC. The coordinators, teachers, and markers did a great job and helped inspire her to do her very best. Thanks so much Jesse and all the team!

Sophia

As a student at CoWorks my approach to learning was completely transformed as the coaches and website supported me across all my subjects, and I was stretched to complete harder tasks that got me results I didn’t think I could get! I achieved an ATAR over 5 points higher than I aimed which I really credit CoWorks for helping me achieve. I still use the skills/behaviours I learnt there now at uni and in the workplace 🙂

We have been so impressed with the level of coaching and direction Coworks has provided our Year 12 daughter. The accountability through out the year helped her stay on-task constantly. She was as well prepared as she could have been and did her best in each exam. Thank you Jesse and team for all of your support, guidance, encouragement and communication. It made the Year 12 experience a pleasant one for everyone in the family!! 😜👍🏻

We highly recommend CoWorks for students who either need some extra support, structure and motivation over their HSC year. It is a big financial commitment, but the confidence it provided to our daughter was worth it.

PLAN

Every student has the same number of hours available to them each day but it is how these hours are utilised which will determine the outcomes and results. The HSC CoWorks team is always working towards supporting students to make the most of their very limited study time.

We support students to plan ahead and break down their tasks into smaller tasks via our A4 planning pads, agenda setting at the start of each session and regular planning sessions. Students can upload their planning pad for coach feedback 7 days a week.

With solid planning and accountability, Consolidating Mountain Climbers will create more time for both a balanced life and be even more effective with their study time.

TRAIN. DAILY

For the Consolidating Mountain Climber, if they can maintain a methodical approach to all topics and attempt as many questions as possible they will be able to walk confidently into every exam.

Students can access our expert team 7 days a week throughout their HSC campaign so there is never a moment your child is not supported. From the targeted private sessions, drop-in support, quote training game and essay marking service, students on the starter package can train daily with the support and feedback of our expert team!

Our very popular ‘streaks’, ‘leaderboards’ and ‘badges’ encourage students to complete tasks on a daily basis making it easier to maintain momentum outside of assessment periods and build strong study habits.

PUSH YOUR COMFORT ZONE

Most people don't like leaving their comfort zone, however for your child they have likely embraced the reality that this is the fastest way to improvement.

At HSC CoWorks we provide endless opportunities for students to stretch and challenge themselves so that they can find the gaps in their understanding and take action. As the consolidating mountain climber engages in these opportunities they will be supported by the marker feedback and collaborations with our expert Coaches and Teachers.

For the Consolidating Mountain Climber it’s likely your child is happy to leave their comfort zone but may need a structured approach to complete as many tasks as possible that will expand their capabilities.

GRIT

No one has achieved anything of significance in their lifetime without encountering and overcoming bucket loads of obstacles, set backs, failures and mistakes. It is these very setbacks that are shaping us to be stronger for our next attempt. Get knocked down to the ground? Get up and let’s keep climbing.

The Consolidating Mountain Climber is well on their way to understanding that mistakes and setbacks are part of the process but we can all benefit from some extra encouragement to pick ourselves up off the ground when we are telling ourselves to just stay down. Our coaches, teachers and markers will continually encourage students to try again until they get it right.

OWN IT

At HSC CoWorks we are firm believers in the student taking ownership of the HSC process.

HSC CoWorks will be climbing side by side with the student along their HSC journey, however it is the student’s responsibility to do the hard work and thinking. The opportunity to be mentored, coached and supported by those who have been through the same process before is highly valuable for the Consolidating Mountain Climber.
