How do we work?

We design our consultation process step by step, considering your individual plans and ideas, but also your dilemmas. You can be anywhere, since we do everything online.

01

Completing the baseline questionnaire

After contacting us, we will send you a questionnaire to assess your current academic status, opportunities and potential goals.

02

The baseline consultation

Based on the completed questionnaire we have a 50 minute conversation to get to know you and your ideas better, so that we could plan together.

03

Preparation of your personal consultation plan

Based on the questionnaire and our baseline discussion we prepare a personalised plan for you. The plan includes all the steps and related tasks that will help you achieve your goal.

04

Consultations

During the consultation process, we are continuously defining and narrowing down your options and realistic goals in a targeted manner. Here, we take the necessary educational, research or even administrative steps to reach the identified goals.

05

Summary and review

In the final evaluation meeting we discuss the vision that emerged as a result of the consultation process and consider what further steps are needed. If you wish, we will continue to work together.

Nagy Dániel Gergely Ad Astra Education

Dániel Gergely Nagy

I got a PhD in Philosophy, but throughout my career, I immersed and gained experiences in various fields beyond academia: they range from fun and entertainment journalism to journals appealing to intellectual readers, and even the world of multinational companies. I am enthusiastic about sharing and continuing to expand these with new.

I am passionate about disseminating knowledge and inquiries and when I am exposed to a lot of questions—whether they concern the technical aspects of university applications or let them be more universal inquiries. I take pleasure in finding common ground with others, whether I am discussing current issues with a renowned French economist such as Thomas Piketty or helping a young person in planning their academic path.

I have been involved in education, talent development, and consulting in various forms—both privately and institutionally—for over a decade. Many of those I have worked with have been admitted to prestigious European or American universities and have succeeded in their careers after completing their studies or are now pursuing doctoral studies themselves.

What takes me away from reality: the movies of John Carpenter, majestic post-rock music, being close to nature and the daily presence of my ginger Maine Coon cat. 

Bódi Lóránt Ad Astra Education

Lóránt Bódi

I enjoy adapting to new situations and combining tasks and interests. I am inquisitive and ask a lot of questions, whether it is a colleague, a guest on a podcast, or a young person looking for a career. I believe in the value of dialogue and the impact of personal conversations on shaping minds and influencing

I have a PhD in interdisciplinary history, which I earned through an academic background. As a researcher, I have been involved in international and national research projects, with an interest in the history and memory of Europe and the region. Even as a student, I was interested in alternative forms of knowledge transfer. This is something I have striven for as an educational leader and continue to strive for as a university lecturer and in my personal counselling.

I seek out interesting stories, flavours, unknown landscapes, and for me creativity is cooking.

Zsófia Horváth

I don’t see problems in life, I see matters to be solved, which is why I deal with the operational and marketing tasks of our company.

My role is to provide the conditions for harmonious cooperation between our students and our advisors.

I believe that everyone is unique and irreplaceable, and our goal is to help our students find their own voice and path.

If it’s not work, it’s travel, reading and sports.

My favourites are Andalusia, Mario Vargas Llosa and yoga.
