1^st SWETA RSK, Student, University of Mumbai reported to Zaeem at SIES (Nerul) College, Mumbai

“Zaeem Mirza produced a football in his first lecture and needless to say, it caught our attention. A marketing coach with a brilliant temperament, he was out there setting things straight for us. Realizing that disparity and complete absence of teamwork was hampering the growth of our class, he was up for the job. Tossing a football around was ingenious; it started a process. The process was taken from strength to strength, until at the very end, it wasn't just a classroom but a 'team.' One can do many things with a disparate bunch of unfocused kids. But Mirza started with the basic team building. Then he made them confident, contemporary, alert, and well-informed. He was much more than a mere teacher. He was a myth - dispelling laugh riot, a taskmaster, and most importantly, a leader.” May 30, 2010

In his sessions, he uses his strong background knowledge and training experience to create successful project leaders/managers. And on these projects, the insights, suggestions, and feedback from him on how improve them has helped us learn a great deal. Zaeem is adept at converting theory into practical execution. He has also been one of the first teachers to use technology regularly in his classes by creating online student groups and posting assignments, hometasks, regular updates, etc. Most of us were not using the Internet for purposes other than networking, he has helped us to see an altogether different view of the digital world and its uses. Also, he balances class-room management and social relationships with his students quite well. I have been impressed with the clear guidelines for professional behavior that he has consistently reinforced throughout the year. Each participant greatly admires and respect him. He is one of the few teachers who make a lasting impressions on the students. What sets him apart from most of the teachers is his strong grasp of subject matter, his ability to relate to students and his funny, audience-friendly yet creative style of teaching that makes learning both meaningful and fun. I highly recommend Zaeem since he is one of the best coaches that we have ever come across.” May 26, 2010

He also had his own, detailed and well-thought out plans. In practice, all the assessments he assigned to students were graded within a record TAT and returned with effective feedback. Instead of just dispensing theoretical knowledge, he was the one who told us to do more of practical work and that has proved a boon for us!

“The best thing you can do as a teacher is share your knowledge unselfishly and evaluate the capability of a student in an unbiased way. As a student I have seen only a handful of teachers who have maintained the above mentioned principle, and Zaeem Mirza is one of them. Principled, ethical, logical, influential, and above all, a staunch believer in the capability of students, Zaeem has the knack of extracting the best out of every one. Hands-on experience and strong theoretical knowledge combined with his unique personality ensured his sessions on Copy Writing, Brand Management, Digital Marketing, and Direct Marketing were power charged!
