Born in the Paris region to parents from Temsamane, in the Rif, Mohamed Boclet grew up in Seine-Saint-Denis, surrounded by six sisters. Looking back on his early years at school, what he remembers most is a difficult path, one that set him apart from his classmates. He repeated first grade and struggled so much that he was placed in a remedial class. Eventually, he was diagnosed with dyslexia. «Before that, I had always been the pupil sitting at the back of the classroom, but the real issue was my dyslexia rather than my ability to learn,» he tells us.
Mohamed Boclet excelled in science subjects, especially mathematics and physics. After earning a scientific baccalaureate, he took on a series of odd jobs before deciding to return to education, encouraged by his parents. A graduate in energy engineering from the École nationale supérieure d’arts et métiers (ENSAM) in Paris, he worked for eight years in his field, notably in Paris, before moving to Montpellier. That is where everything truly began.
Dyslexic and French mind mapping champion
In his new city, Mohamed Boclet discovered speed-reading workshops through his wife, who encouraged him to sign up. «I had my prejudices, but she insisted that I give it a try. That’s when I discovered another way to read quickly, to memorize and to learn. It helped me understand that reading can be accessible, thanks to techniques that improve concentration,» says the man who eventually developed a taste for an activity he had long believed was not meant for him.
With his friends, he decided to take part in the French championships. «The first year, I finished near the bottom. When I went back the following year, I came ninth, so among the top fifteen. In the third year, I became French champion and qualified directly for the world competition,» Mohamed Boclet proudly recalls. He went on to become world runner-up in speed reading, after managing to read «a 170-page book in 17 minutes, with a score of 18 out of 20 in the question-and-answer section, including an assessment of comprehension and memorization».
At the same time, Mohamed Boclet founded an association through which he regularly shares learning methods. Training would become his new area of expertise, leading him to change careers and devote himself to it full-time. Passionate not only about teaching but also about sharing knowledge on a broad scale, he has written three books, the latest of which, «Votre cerveau va vous sauver» (Robert Laffont), was published on April 9, 2026.
«Today, my daily mission is to help people regain control of their memory and their brain, to start learning, memorizing and retaining information better. I teach people how to learn, memorize and retain information better,» says the three-time French mind mapping champion. Known for the «Boclet method», which he developed himself, Mohamed devoted his first book to learning techniques, offering guidance on improving concentration to make reading and memorization more effective.
His second book develops his method further, taking readers step by step through «the stages that make it easier to retain information». The third aims to «help readers regain control over their thoughts, their beliefs, their memory and their everyday thought patterns», by working on thoughts and mental blocks, cognitive biases and the shortcuts the brain tends to take.
An entrepreneur between Morocco and France
Because of his family ties, Mohamed Boclet has never lived far from Morocco. Since childhood, returning every summer to his parents’ homeland has been a ritual. As an adult, he has continued to travel back and forth between his two countries, while also embarking on entrepreneurial ventures. Inaugurated on May 20, 2026, in Marrakech, the latest project he is involved in is Prime Golf, an innovative concept combining the democratization of golf with an eco-responsible approach.
More than a leisure venue, the project aims to make a sport «long perceived as elitist» accessible by offering «a hybrid experience where sport, technology, leisure, culture and the art of living come together». For seasoned enthusiasts and beginners alike, it provides a setting inspired by welcoming international concepts, where people can «discover, play and share».
«The idea is to offer an interactive course on synthetic turf that uses little water, while also prioritizing local labor in order to have an economic and social impact wherever the project is based,» Mohamed Boclet says.
«The venue offers a range of fun challenges, while also drawing on the hospitality we know in our country. Thanks to integrated technology, you can see exactly where the ball is on the course. In a city like Marrakech, where there are already several golf courses, we specifically wanted to offer an inclusive circuit for children, adults and parents, starting at 100 dirhams per hour, with an unlimited number of balls per person,» he explains.
While aiming to bring together leisure and knowledge, Mohamed Boclet hopes in the long term to develop this first Prime Golf project across Africa and in other Moroccan cities. With the same determination, he also hopes to bring his learning methods to Morocco.
