About Naverola
Naverola is a small academic guidance project supporting students with postgraduate applications, academic writing, and important academic decisions.
About the Founder
Naverola is run by Ata Ergin, an economics graduate from Istanbul Technical University and an MSc graduate in Applied Development Economics from the London School of Economics (LSE).
​
The project focuses on supporting students who are navigating important academic decisions, from postgraduate applications and academic writing to broader questions about their academic direction.
​
Naverola began as a small initiative shaped by personal academic experience and years spent observing how students struggle with choices about universities, applications, and long-term academic paths. The aim is simple: to offer thoughtful guidance and careful feedback that helps students approach these decisions with greater clarity and confidence.
​
Rather than a large consultancy or automated service, Naverola operates as a small academic guidance project centred on individual conversations and detailed review of the documents that shape an application.
Why I Started Naverola
During university and postgraduate study, it became clear how many students struggle with academic decisions that shape their future: choosing programmes, preparing applications, and making sense of long-term academic paths.
​
Many of these decisions are often made with limited guidance, even though they can have a lasting impact on a student’s academic and professional direction.
​
Naverola was created as a small initiative to offer thoughtful, honest guidance for students who want to approach these decisions more carefully and with greater clarity.
