Meet the Founder

I'm Ryan Tahmaseb, the educator behind Pinestar Educational. I've spent nearly two decades helping students become more confident, capable, and independent learners—as an English teacher, school librarian, academic advisor, and academic coach.

Today, I combine that experience with my work as a traditionally published author to provide personalized academic coaching in reading, writing, and executive functioning. I especially enjoy working with twice-exceptional (2e) students and students with ADHD.

Interested in discussing academic coaching?

I’d be happy to connect with you!
