My name is Alexander Najman (silent J) – owner of Minerva Consultation, an educational consulting firm I founded in 2015 while working full-time as a professor of philosophy and physics.

As a professor I taught Plato who, in The Theaetetus, describes the role of a philosopher as a ‘midwife for the ideas of others’ and this is precisely what I do; help actualize the ideas of the world's top talent, bringing their goals into realistic and tangible professional plans. 

My background in both physics and philosophy provides me with a highly critical, analytic modality through which to approach problems and derive solutions while my prior work as a professor provides me with a highly flexible pedagogical approach, regardless of my clients' unique backgrounds. 

With a resume focused on educational support and vocational counseling, a success rate of 100% since founding, and an ever-growing network of colleagues and peers around the world, Minerva has become a premier boutique admissions firm with clients around the world.
