We believe that an effective personal statement starts with you and your uniqueness. We are passionate about helping you find your own unique fingerprint.
Our new and fresh approach to writing personal statements helps students to look inside themselves and find out what makes them tick.
We believe that students know themselves best and we use coaching techniques to help them find, and believe in, their own uniqueness.
Student Fingerprints was created by Sue Turner, a Personal and Executive Coach. Sue trained as a coach and started her coaching business, Sorted Coaching, in 2004 after career of over 20 years in software development.
As well as working with people on a one-to-one basis, Sue has designed and delivered workshops covering Career Change, Assertiveness, Communication Skills, Time Management and Goal Setting.
Student Fingerprints came about after Sue created and delivered a workshop in 2005 for students at Chepstow Comprehensive School to help them to write their Personal Statements. At the time, her own daughter was in the lower 6th and was going through the UCAS process.
Sue identified that a coaching approach would help both her daughter and her fellow students understand themselves, discover what was needed in a personal statement and finally how to present themselves best.
The workshop was well received and Paul Norton, Head of 6th Form was impressed by the high standard of Personal Statements written by students attending the workshop. He said:
‘The Student Fingerprints process enabled my students to become much more focused on why they wanted to study a particular course and what strengths they had to bring to their chosen university. As such, their Personal Statements were richer in content, better structured and unique in their approach, which really made them stand out.’
The Student Fingerprints website provides the opportunity for students all over the world to use this unique approach. The myPS process delivers more than the original workshop and makes full use of the additional features that an interactive website can offer. |
