Akhavein established first private calligraphy training institute called Iranian Calligraphy Center in 1992. He authored several books for teaching Nastaliq script including "Lessons on Nastaliq" and "A Life With Nastaliq". Akhavein has inscribed a selection of quotations of Khajeh Abdollah Ansari as well as quatrains of Oheddin Kermani. He published a book titled "Ghadie Message of Hafez".
