What Coaching (Tutoring) Solves

The Problem for Parents

You don’t know how to help. Nothing seems to work, and you are sick of arguing about school. You try to back off and let your student handle the work themselves, but then you find yourself swooping in at the end of the grading period.

This cycle can continue for years, unless you take steps to stop it.

Students with ADHD and Executive Function Deficits are predictably unpredictable; this is the nature of the symptoms. Planning, organizing, remembering, and juggling multiple tasks are difficult for ADHDers. Nearly everything students do in school requires these tasks.


Parent coaching gives you tools to understand more about what your student needs to be successful in a way that helps restore and maintain your relationship.

The Problem for Students

You can’t get help with skills you don’t know you are missing. Something is wrong, but you don’t know what it is or how to solve it on your own. Each time you try, something gets in the way and pushes you back further.

Yellow Parachute Coaches help students understand who they are as learners and how to get what they need to be successful. This goes beyond subject matter to understanding what motivates them and helps them hold themselves accountable.

Coaching can change a student’s learning trajectory!

The Coach/Student relationship is so important, we’ve dedicated a “Connection Coordinator” to help connect you with the service that best suits your needs as a student, parent, or teacher.

We have seen results. Learning does not happen in a linear fashion, so it is often difficult to judge progress along the way. But in each case, we have seem clear growth in our children…both in what they have learned and how they are learning it.
