Nicky Farren

Granite Education’s Owner and CEO, Nicky was raised in Nashville, Tennessee, andreturned to his home state after spending his last 4 years at Santa Clara University. Receiving a bachelor’s in Psychology, along with minors in Spanish and International Business, Nicky is a true academic renaissance man.  Though his studies cover a wide range of topics, Nicky has engulfed himself in the Spanish language and has a strong desire to pass his knowledge of the subject on to his students. His time spent abroad in Spain, in conjunction with his studies in school have given him a deep understanding of the language that he wishes to share with others.  Nicky spends his time at Granite incorporating Mindfulness into his lessons as a way to ensure that students keep their eyes on their progressions over-time, not the struggles they may face in the moment. Nicky is passionate about Spanish education, ISEE test prep, and a host of other academic disciplines.
