My Story

Hi! I’m Dr. Mahdieh Gol, a passionate educator with a PhD in Theoretical Physics and years of experience teaching and inspiring learners of all ages. The reason I started Pleiades Pathways is simple: Too many children grow up thinking science is scary or “not for them” — and I know it doesn’t have to be that way. Students often describe me as someone who genuinely cares, who meets them where they are, and who helps them feel confident no matter their starting point. My goal is to create a space where kids feel safe, curious, and proud of what they can achieve — because I believe no child should miss out on their future just because they were once afraid of math or science.With Pleiades Pathways, I hope to spark joy, build confidence, and show kids that STEM is not just understandable — it’s exciting!
