Yellow Parachute is the BRIGHT spot in your educational story. Our individualized tutoring model, founded on twenty years of direct experience and current research in education, sociology, psychology, and neuroscience, bridges the gap between the classroom and individual students needs, from kindergarten through 12th grade and beyond.

Our approach emphasizes the reciprocal relationship between Personal Learning Coach and student: we understand the Learning Coach not as rescuer parachuting in to save the day, but as jump instructor, leaping alongside the student to provide instruction and encouragement while sharing the thrills and risks of learning. Our innovative, holistic, and personalized instruction empowers students to become confident, inspired learners.

As the coach/student relationship is fundamental to our model, we take the job of finding the right fit seriously. When you contact us, you ll be put directly in touch with Jenny McKeand, our designated Student Connector. With a background in communications and education, as well as eight years as a Learning Coach, Jenny will work with you to match your child with a coach whose style, skill-set, and personality will serve your child s unique needs.

We combine the flexibility of a small tutoring company with the expertise of a large one.Our personal approach allows us to jump-in and provide high-quality learning experiences designed to exceed expectations and get students on the path to success.
