What Parents say About Yellow Parachute
My daughter had taken the ACT a few times and achieved a score of 28. While the score was great she needed a minimum of 30 to be considered for the university of her choice. We hired YP based on a friends recommendation and, after tutoring, my daughter reached the score of 32! Thank you Yellow Parachute! The friend who recommended this service to us saw a five point increase in her daughter’s ACT test score. Job well done!
Sandy M.
I highly recommend Cara as an ACT coach. Not only was she an outstanding coach for our son, she excelled at establishing rapport with him, which made staying engaged in the process so much easier. The results speak for themselves: his composite ACT score jumped four points. And, I’d be remiss if I didn’t also note that this occurred during the start/stop season of COVID and test cancellations and delays. We are so thankful!
Kathy S.
We have worked with Cara Thorpe on and off for years and she is an amazing educator. She has a heart for her students, for education, and for personalized learning. She provides more than coaching services to her students - she lifts up her students, motivates them, helps build their confidence, and provides study and life skills. Additionally, Cara has a warm, kind and loving spirit that blesses everyone around her. We are truly thankful for all she has done for our family.
Stacie D.
The team at YP has been essential to our son’s success in his advanced math classes and ACT prep! They really care about finding the right fit with a tutor and the coaching is individualized to each student. I can’t imagine navigating the last few years of high school (especially during the distance learning) without them! Thanks YP, we would highly recommend!
Sarah M.
Yellow Parachute’s approach to learning and children is exactly what I was looking for when was looking for tutoring for 3 of our children. I hired them because of there ability and drive to see each child AND each family as unique. There is no one size fits all approach. As will most siblings, my 3 could not be more different in personality and learning style. Yellow Parachute adapted to our kids vs our kids adapting to one teaching style. And just a BIG bonus-they all achieved higher test scores than what we imagine.
Suzanne V.
Yellow Parachute has been a huge positive influence in our daughter’s life! Not only does she get the help she needs, but they do it in a way that is specific to her learning style! They go above & beyond. Would recommend them to anyone!

What is the Yellow Parachute Difference?

Cara has been a public school teacher in the Edina School District, a tutor, and a swim coach. In 1999, Cara founded Yellow Parachute to expand her impact on education and support more students in an increasingly anxiety ridden learning environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a Busy Student Get Through the Material?
Yes! One of our primary focuses in creating this course was to ensure that students can work through the course at their own pace. We don't fight schedules filled with sports, music classes, and of course, regular class attendance and homework.
Along with self-paced video lessons, we include timed practice tests and drills, as well as a student workbook to supplement information. While we help our students with the academic portions, we also focus on pacing to help prepare for the logistics of the exam.
What if I Want a More Personalized Strategy?
Yellow Parachute began with in-person tutoring, and we continue to offer—and appreciate!—1 on 1 tutors. If you would like your student to benefit by having a Yellow Parachute Certified Coach walk through the eCourse alongside them, we offer personalized video coaching as an additional service.
Can I Speak With Someone Before Purchasing?
