Welcome to Yellow Parachute Learning Partners…
The Twin Cities’ brightest solution for K-12 Tutoring and Test Prep
We help invested parents raise resilient kids by using simple, powerful, tools to teach the science of learning how to learn.
One size does not fit all. And learning is too precious an endeavor to waste on conflict between parent and child.
Your YP Learning Coach jumps in to relieve parent/student stress, provide weekly tutoring sessions, and equip families with tools to transform their relationships on the path to a student’s success.
We offer a variety of both paid and
free products and services in five categories.
