The answer that you're looking for is "Rabbi Johanan ben Zakkai."However, there is a mistake in your question and its perceived answer. Rabbi Johanan did not found the Torah-academy in Yavneh. Rather, it had already existed, and he bolstered it with hundreds of additional disciples.See also the Related Links.Link: How did Rabbi Yohanan Ben Zakkai save JudaismLink: Timeline of Jewish history

When was the death of Yohanan Ben Zakkai?
This answer I saw is unfortunately complete nonsense: "He died aproximately 100 years before the destruction of the second Bais ha'mikdosh" Bais Hamikdosh is the Ashkenazic pronunciation of Bet Hamikdash, meaning the Holy Temple of Jerusalem. Yohanan Ben Zakkai was a commander in the defence of the Temple in the siege against the Romans. He established the Yavneh Generation, "Dor Yavneh", founding the first official school of Rabbinic Judaism. Rabbinic Judaism teaches life based on interpretations of the Torah in the Mishnah and Talmud - all the works of Scholars and Rabbis, but none of which is considered Divine, which Torah is. Rabbi Yohanan died in Yavneh probably a few years after 100 CE/AD
Why was yohanan ben zaccai?
(Talmud, Gittin 56a) Rabbi Yohanan ben Zakkai didn't approve of the Zealots' plan to wage war with the Romans. The Zealots tried to force the hand of the Jerusalemites by burning the city's stockpiles of food (ibid.); and Rabban Yochanan feared that thousands would die in the famine which the city was plunged into. He decided to try to go and plead with the Romans to lift the siege; but the Zealots weren't letting anyone leave the city. For these reasons, Rabban Yohanan had to be smuggled out. He feigned death and was carried out in casket (ibid).

Who established a school of teaching the Torah of Yavneh?
The answer you're looking for is Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakkai, but it (and the question) is inaccurate. The Torah-academy at Yavneh was already in existence; and what Rabbi ben Zakkai did was to greatly swell its ranks with additional sages.
Who was Yohanan ben Zaccai why was he important?
Rabbi Yohanan ben Zakkai, disciple of Hillel, found favor in the eyes of the Roman leader Vespasian, for a reason explained in the Talmud (Gittin 56a-b), and was granted a request. He asked that the Romans (who had already begun the siege of Jerusalem) spare the town of Yavneh and its Torah-scholars. Vespasian acquiesced (Talmud, ibid), and Rabbi Yohanan gathered whatever Torah-sages he could, to Yavneh.After the Destruction during which the Romans razed Jerusalem, it was these sages (Rabbi Eliezer, Rabbi Yehoshua, Rabbi Akiva and many others) who redeemed Jewish captives, distributed charity, and rebuilt whatever they could. (Compare this to the Sadducees, who melted into the background and did not lift a finger to help the people.)
Did rabbi yochariam ben zakkai help simon bar kochba?
If the question refers to Rabbi YOCHANAN Ben Zakkai, founder of "Dor Yavneh" then the answer would almost definitely be - HE DIDN'T. Rabbi Yohanan lived the last days of his life in Yavneh, establishing the first School of Rabbinical Judaism in 70 CE (AD). In 70 CE (AD) he had been a Judean general defending Jerusalem agains the Roman legions of Vespasian and escaped. (See separate answer to "Who was Yohanan Ben Zakkai") Shimon Bar Kochba was the Judean leader who led the rebellion against Rome and briefly, for 3 years, re-established independence in Judea from Rome (132-135 CE-AD). This had to be long after the death of Rabbi Yohanan, as the Sanhedrin he established 63 years earlier as a grown man had already moved north from Yavneh to Oshea in Galilee. The spiritual leader who helped or at least inspired Bar Kochba was RABBI AKIVA BEN YOSEF. The Romans put Rabbi Akiva to an incredibly cruel death in 137 CE (AD) by flaying and burning alive, a barbaric measure repeated with another 9 prominent Galilee Rabbis, following the draconian measures the Romans employed against the Jews after their brutal repression of Bar Kockba's revolt in 135 CE (AD).
