OUR APPROACH

Our approach is friendly, practical, structured, and mindful. We balance constructive feedback with encouragement to create an environment that builds confidence and supports growth. Aware of the pressures of postgraduate research, we offer calm, focused, and adaptive guidance tailored to each client’s specific needs. This helps clients progress with greater independence, graduate without burnout, while creating more positive memories of their studies.

We offer only services that align with university ethical guidelines for private research consulting. Therefore, we do not provide ghostwriting, content creation, or custom paper writing. We also do not replace supervisors or advisors, direct the project, or take over decision-making. Instead, we deliver personalised support that empowers clients to produce their own work, ensuring the best outcomes academically, personally, and professionally.

Why choose Aniche Scholar instead of AI tools for research support?

Good question!

While AI tools can assist with grammar checks, editing, and basic structuring, they lack the level of critical thinking, subject-specific expertise, and ethical considerations required for postgraduate research. Their effectiveness also depends heavily on the quality of input or prompts given, requiring a certain level of research expertise to yield meaningful results.

At Aniche Scholar, you will work with a consultant who holds a PhD in a Management discipline and will provide personalised, in-depth feedback tailored to your research objectives. We focus on teaching students how to refine arguments and improve clarity to ensure their work aligns with academic standards. Our goal is to equip clients with the skills to develop their own research effectively, with an aim to provide long-term value that extends into their professional careers. With enough reviews and sessions, our hope is that you will be equipped and empowered enough to rely less and less on such services in future.

Unlike AI, which can generate misleading or incorrect information (hallucinations), we ensure accuracy and adherence to university guidelines. Students who are not yet advanced in research may struggle to detect AI-generated errors, making it easier for supervisors to identify misuse, potentially damaging the supervisor-student relationship and trust. Additionally, AI-generated content may be flagged for academic misconduct, whereas our mentorship ensures originality and integrity in your research.

Meet Dr. Chenai Muhwati, PhD

ANICHE SCHOLAR | CO-FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR

Hi, my name is Dr. Chenai Muhwati. Thank you for your interest in Aniche Scholar. Please allow me to introduce myself.

With 12 years of experience in academia, I have held various roles, including lecturer, research supervisor, programme coordinator, moderator, study guide developer, and research coach. During my time in the research mentorship and coaching industry, I have had the privilege of supporting postgraduate students from leading institutions such as Harvard, University KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN), London Business School, the University of Toronto, King Saud University, University of the Witwatersrand (WITS), Henley Business School, and University of South Africa (UNISA). My experience assisting students spans more than 20 countries across Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America, giving me a truly global perspective that now deeply informs my mentorship approach.

Having also studied in Zimbabwe, Botswana, and South Africa, along with attending a summer school in Germany, I understand firsthand the challenges and rewards of studying in diverse academic environments. This personal experience, combined with my professional expertise, enables me to provide research support that is not only academically sound but also culturally and contextually relevant.

As the Co-Founder and Director of Aniche Scholar, I provide personalised research mentorship and consulting services for Business and Management postgraduate candidates. I co-founded Aniche Scholar after recognising the need for accessible, high-quality research support tailored to both full-time students and professionals balancing their studies with other commitments. Many candidates are eager to advance their knowledge and careers through research but often feel overwhelmed, unsure of where to begin, or understandably struggle to maintain the momentum and motivation to complete their studies. My approach is friendly, collaborative, empathetic, and structured, creating a calm and supportive environment that empowers each candidate to confidently navigate their research journey to successfully achieve their academic and professional objectives.

Looking forward to walking this journey with you.
