Professor of Marketing and Management threads you on the path of Excellence

I'm happy to recommend Dr. Mehraz Boolaky. He is a regular volunteer facilitator on our online courses in research writing, and is also a volunteer mentor for us at www.authoraid.info. He is an experienced online teacher and is always willing to help and provide helpful advice to students and early career researchers, whether that be in written advice or video discussion. I'm also lucky to have met him in person and can vouch for his trustworthiness and good humour.

I met Dr. Mehraz Boolaky during my Master of Public Administration studies at the University of Roehampton. Professor Boolaky was teaching the Research Methods that I attended from November 2016 until January 2017. During the three-months module, I was quite impressed with Professor Boolaky's dedication to bringing out the students' full potential.

Professor Mehraz provided the opportunity to discuss relevant concepts and literature to underpin our learning process. He was perceived by students as strict but fair. Mehraz is a committed teacher, always available to students for constructive consultations. With his teaching methods and strategy, Professor Boolaky succeeds to facilitate the education process very well, whereby the students are provided with the learning conditions in which they are able to achieve the best results.

I remember having personal issues during the module and, and as a result, having significant troubles in defining my Master Research Project general framework. Most particularly refining the research question and related sub-questions. I kept it too broad all the time and could not find relevant literature to this regard. Professor Boolaky insisted that I put in all my efforts until I focused on the research question. Finally, this support resulted in a Master Research Project graded with Merit.

For all said reasons, I would recommend Mehraz to other students so that you all can accomplish your educational and professional goals.

I know Mehraz as my research advisor when I studied at the University of Liverpool.

When I first called him Dr/Mr. Boolaky, he politely requested that I call him just Mehraz. So, in later messages and letters, I called him “Mehraz”.

Mehraz always supported me through all stages of work. At the same time, he allowed me to take independent decisions about the research, which left me free to act in all phases of my project, from the collection of bibliographic data to the final report. However, at the each stage he analyzed the methodology and the results, corrected errors, and recommended the right path through my analysis.

So, Mehraz was an ideal guide for me.

Dr Mehraz Boolaky
I feel privileged to write a few words on Dr Mehraz Boolaky, whom I have known in various capacities during my professional life and career.
As Assistant Registrar at the University of Mauritius, I had several interaction opportunities with him at high level committees. He has always displayed high level of academic integrity, student –centric disposition, strategic thinking and a holistic approach to academic and student affairs. His primary concerns with student welfare – academic and non-academic—underpinned his entire academic approach.
I also had the chance to interact with him in my capacity as Director, Centre for Life Long Learning and Professional Development, University of Mauritius. As a module developer for both undergraduate and post graduate programmes, Dr Boolaky always went that extra mile to produce high quality academic materials. As a tutor for both undergraduate and post graduate students, he excelled by his passion in ensuring that students` interests receive priority in any endeavour. As a dissertation supervisor at both undergraduate and post graduate level, Dr Boolaky spared no effort at making himself available to each and every student under his supervision. He guided them at every step in the process and ensured high quality outcomes in terms of products, student growth and development.
Dr Boolaky is a proactive academic with very good negotiating skills at striking strategic partnership with stakeholders at national and international level. He was instrumental in the University of Mauritius –European Union funding for a Masters Program in Port and Shipping Administration.
I am very pleased to recommend him for any academic endeavour.

Mehraz provided excellent support during my MBA dissertation at the University of Liverpool. With his help, I was able to produce a strong dissertation document, which was later used to write a business article. He also guided me during the editing of this business article which is currently published.

I am pleased to write a letter of recommendation for Dr. Mehraz Boolaky who I recommend to the other Superprof members. I came to know Dr. Boolaky in 2013 when he was my Dissertation Advisor for my master’s degree, MSc in International Management at the University of Liverpool.
I had the pleasure of benefiting from the advice and guidance of Dr. Boolaky who was not only an exceptional professor and expert in enabling me to understand the requirements of the dissertation at the master’s level but Dr. Boolaky was also inspirational in encouraging me to continue working on the dissertation to write a condensed version thereof for further publication in a recognized journal.
Given the virtual learning environment of the Laureate Online Education, Dr. Boolaky’s positive personality and integrity were instrumental in establishing a rapport of trust that gave rise to a successful outcome of the dissertation in an extraordinarily human and kind approach.
Dr. Boolaky’s professionalism and dedication to the realm of education also provided intellectual stimulation by motivating me to further my education and embark in the Ph.D. journey.
I recommend Dr. Boolaky to you without reservation. Superprof would highly benefit from the professionalism, expertise, and humanism of Dr. Boolaky.
Sincerely,

I have had Dr. Mehraz as my dissertation advisor. He is passionate about teaching and his encouragement always motivated me to do my best. His teaching style is to allow students to see their mistakes and at the same time be independent. I strongly recommend him to any student who wants to excel.

Merhaz once supervised me in my post graduate dissertation. We jointly published research work in an international academic journal. He is a very meticulous person, analytical and given to details. He has passion for intellectual excellence, and is gifted in uncovering great puzzles. I strongly recommend him for any academic activity.

Professor Mehraz is a eminent teacher and trainer. He is keen in his work and takes up immense pain to promote the students to the expected level. He is also dedicated to the task put upon him and he take almost care of students community. So I recommend him for the post of tutor.

As a graduate student who has done his thesis under Prof. Mehraz, I would like to endorse Prof. Mehraz to the highest level. It was only under him and his guidance I was able to complete one of my best accomplishments in life. The thesis paper completed in 2014 was transformed from an academic task to much wider innovative experience. I was able under his guidance to make my work experience and professional ambitions part of the thesis journey. I really would like to convey my highest respect and admiration to Prof. Mehraz and I'm grateful to him to all the support he had given me in my academic journey.

I have been a student of Prof. Mehraz Boolaky when I was pursuing my MBA. He taught us marketing in a very unconventional way. In every class, we were given exercises as well as case studies to understand them better. This not only made me understand difficult concepts of marketing theoretically but also made me capable of applying them during challenging situations.

Prof. Mehraz is a eminent teacher and trainer. He is keen in his work and takes up immense pain to promote the students to the expected level. He is also dedicated to the task put upon him and he takes almost care for the welfare of students community. So I recommend him for his post of tutor.

I have known Mehraz since he became my Dissertation Adviser on my MSc in International Management, at the University of Liverpool, in 2014. He is probably one of the most dedicated advisers you will ever find. He has shown genuine interest in my research and we had many very interesting conversations about form and content, always in a manner that brought me inspiration and joy for work. Mehraz is not just a leader, he is a very good listener, a great tutor, and adviser; a friend and someone you can rely on. I therefore highly recommend Mehraz to the Superproof members.

Mehraz is more than a teacher to me. He is a Guru as he is very knowledgeable, intelligent and has been inspiring, guiding and counseling me during the years I were at the University and during my career as well. He has really helped to make a difference in my life. I would recommend Mehraz as he is very reliable, trustworthy and committed towards his students.

I know Prof Mehraz for more than a decade at the University of Mauritius. Prof Mehraz has been an inspirational figure with exceptional leadership skills at the University, always listening to everyone and providing prompt, accurate and focused advice. He has no doubt confidently challenged a wide array of academics discourses providing innovative insights. Prof Mehraz is not only well known for his high academic achievements but he is acknowledged for being a good and trustworthy human being in the first instance.
