Starting May 31st 2014, the HSC CoWorks will be kicking off new concept “Saturday Night Lockdowns”.

With the start of Term 2 and less than 170 days to go until the final HSC exams, now is the time for every student to be putting everything they have into their studies and into embedding the study practices needed for their dream ATAR result.

The “Saturday Night Lockdowns” promote intensive study in an effective and encouraging environment at a time when other HSC students across NSW are indulging in social events. Sacrifice a few Saturday nights of your HSC Campaign now in the knowledge that come November you will be able to go out every Saturday night guilt free and proud that you did everything you could to get into your dream University Course.

• Get ready for your HSC by practicing exam style tasks with expert support
• Develop the power of self discipline by sacrificing a few of your Saturday nights
• Work without the distractions of home, friends at the library, your mobile phone and Facebook
• Receive expert coaching and tuition support on any topics you are unclear on. Meet the team of coaches here.
• Work in a space with other students who are motivated to do well

You may have received a card in your letterbox drop over the last few days letting you know that the team behind FergHSC  in Bondi Junction are bringing our HSC tuition program to the the North Shore of Sydney. We wouldn’t normally consider a letterbox drop however because our service is so valuable to improving the lives of young people we wanted to make sure you knew about us. We have a range of services to suit all student’s needs.

Welcome to The CoWorks

We checked out the office building works yesterday and we can safely say it looks amazing and we are on schedule to open our doors on Sunday 3rd February! HSC students on the North Shore of Sydney will soon have access to the premier Sydney HSC tuition centre located conveniently at Spit Junction Mosman.

At our open day on the 3rd of February you will be able to meet our team of experienced HSC teachers and markers as well as our ex-students who undergo extensive training to become our tutors. You will be able to see our brand new purpose built 21st Century learning space designed for optimal learning and engagement.

Perfect learning environment

At the open day we will be running two workshops on HSC English “Belonging” to showcase our systems for success in the only common topic which all HSC students will study in HSC 2012/13. Session 1 runs from 11am to 11:40am and Session 2 runs from 12:00pm through to 12:40pm.

We will have experts on hand in Maths(all levels), English(All Levels), Economics, Business Studies, Chemistry, Physics, Modern History and more. They will be there to engage with students and work through some questions or build ideas on the whiteboard. We are all about engagement and interactivity rather than passive learning which is more likely to put students to sleep!

We are really excited to have the opportunity to work with students from Mosman and surrounding areas. We love what we do and are sure that every student will have a great experience with us whether it be through our premium tuition program, our holiday study bootcamps, weekend supervised study sessions or our series of text and topic specific seminars.

We hope you can make it to the Open day (Sunday the 3rd of February 10am to 1pm).

If you can’t make the open day but would like to find out more about our service and preparing your child for the HSC, please let us know and we are more than happy to arrange a personal tour of our learning space and discuss how we can support your student to HSC success.

The post Open Day – Sunday 3rd of February 10AM to 1PM appeared first on HSC CoWorks.

From Term 1 2013 we will be opening our doors in Mosman to provide our comprehensive HSC tuition program as well as our series of HSC events to students who live on the North Shore of Sydney. Since 1996 we have had many students who have made the weekly journey to our offices in Bondi Junction coming from Mosman, Longueville, Manly, Lane Cove, Balmoral, Balgowlah Castlecrag, Northbridge and sometimes further but from Term 1 2013 on students living in these areas will only need to travel to Spit Junction in Mosman to access our systems for HSC success.

From 1996 to today we have developed programs and systems that go a long way to ensuring our students become successful HSC candidates and life long learners . Our record on a yearly basis both of excellent individual subject results and HSC state all-rounders reflect both the value of our systems and our ongoing commitment to student results.

We believe that great results whether in English, Maths or Chemistry come from a willingness to develop the skill rather than assume that great results come from something called ‘talent.’ If you want a great result you can have it.

We believe that working closely with each student by considering their individual needs is the key to HSC success. No two students are the same and we are committed to achieving the best outcome for each of our students at The CoWorks Mosman Students often travel through school unnoticed and avoiding the subjects that they don’t feel confident in. At The CoWorks Mosman, we monitor student performance on an ongoing basis and act accordingly.

This is why we have developed an HSC tuition model where your student can choose to be supported in the subject they need help with rather than a rigid structure that meets the needs of the school or tutor. Needless to say we are always working on whatever your student is working on at school and our goal is to build confidence and achieve great results in subjects where a student might be lacking confidence as well as maintaining strong performance in preferred subjects.

Our one stop HSC tuition service for all subjects gives students the freedom to focus on the subject or topic that requires the most attention at a particular time to optimise their performance in assessment tasks and exams.

Whilst schools generally do a good job of teaching content we know that students want to know how to write a great essay or how to do well in their Economics exam because a great result is what its all about. We are yet to meet an HSC candidate who doesn’t want to do well.

In the school environment teachers are forced to race through course material often leaving behind students who fail grasp concepts. For example in Maths if a student fails to grasp a significant step in a topic, that will impact on their capacity to understand other components of the topic and the course overall and as you will know this will impact on your students confidence moving forward. Further, in subjects like History and English, a classroom teacher often doesn’t have the time to teach the skill of essay writing.  We have a system for teaching the skill of essay writing.

This is where we step in. We are constantly reviewing students understanding of topics by providing exam style tasks in every session as well as having an interactive online program that further supports student performance.

We have trained, experienced  HSC teachers,and ex-FergHSC students who are high achievers themselves who have been rigorously trained in our systems who will be working with your student. Our team not only have detailed textual  or topic knowledge, but they understand that the main game is the acquisition of skill and confidence when dealing with assessment tasks and exams. The tutors own recent experience of the HSC is invaluable for current students.

We are talking about  providing our students with the acquisition of lifetime learning skills and we have a lot of anecdotal evidence from ex-students who are still using our strategies at university and beyond.

Needless to say we are highly familiar with the HSC cycle and acknowledge that for many students for the first time in their lives they have to become accountable. They don’t want to to walk out of that last exam saying ‘I Wish I’d done more study’. They want to leave that last exam saying ‘I went hard, I learnt to put in, I’m really looking forward to my results coming out, I really deserve a great time at schoolies, a gap year or uni. and I‘m ready for the next exciting stage of my life!’

We look forward to meeting you at our Open Day or if  you are viewing this after the 3rd of February  fielding your enquiry about further information or seeking an interview to enrol your student in our program.
