About Nicky

Hi, I’m Nicky Franchi - teacher, academic coach, and founder of Anchor Study Skills. I help students build executive function skills that last.

I’ve spent over 15 years teaching students how to plan, organize, advocate, and finish what they start - even when school feels like it’s moving too fast.

Anchor Study Skills started in my classroom. I used to tell students to “anchor yourself with your agenda book” - because that’s where structure begins. Over time, that phrase stuck. So did my passion for helping students feel more in control.

Today, I work 1:1 with high schoolers, college students, and families to build systems that actually work for them.

Nicky's Approach

Understand the Student

I meet students where they are - not where the school says they “should” be.

Build a Plan

We create a structure that fits how they work, think, and move through the world.

Stick With It

I coach consistently - with clear goals, strong routines, and warm accountability.
