Who was the teacher who set up a school where Jewish scholars could study which helped preserve Jewish traditions?
The answer that you're looking for is "Rabbi Johanan ben Zakkai." However, there is a mistake in your question, or 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.
What did Rabbi Yohanan ben Zakkai do?
The great Jewish sage Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakai lived at the end of the 2nd temple period and was one of the spiritual leaders of his generation - the generation of "Tanna'im". See the link for more information about the great Rabbi who codified many laws following the destruction of the 2nd Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE (AD). Considered to have been the youngest disciple of the great sage Hillel, Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakai took an active role in the defense of Jerusalem under Roman siege in 68-70 CE (AD). He is reputed to have been secreted from the city in a burial shroud on a stretcher, then approaching the camp of (Roman commander & Syrian Governor) Vespasian, greeting him with the words "Hail my lord Emperor". During his discussions with Vespasian a messenger arrived to recall Vespasian to Rome, as the Senate had appointed him Emperor following the death of Nero. In the light of this, Vespasian acceded to some requests by Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakai, granting permission to set up a school of Jewish scholars in the town of Yavneh. Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakai founded "Dor Yavneh" (The Yavneh generation), re-establishing the Sanhedrin and beginning to codify laws defining Torah study and prayer as the way forward for the Jews and Jewish religion, in a world without a Temple in Jerusalem, which had always been the centre for ritual Temple sacrifice as instructed in the Books of Moses. These laws, developed by different rabbinical schools in Judea, were later collected and codified into the Mishna-Torah by Rabbi Yehuda Hanassi.
How did the scholars at Yavneh help reshape Jewish life and traditions?
Preserve, not "reshape." 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 requested that the Romans (who had already begun the process of the Second Destruction) spare the town of Yavneh and its Torah-scholars. Vespasion 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. In matters of Torah, they recorded the laws of the Temple so that these wouldn't be forgotten, and redacted the details of such Mishna-tractates as Shekalim, Yoma, and Tamid. They finalized the text of the Haggadah shel Pesach (Passover Seder), composed prayers for the rebuilding of the Temple, and set in motion the process of redacting the entire Mishna, an effort which would be completed a century later. Through all these actions, they gave the Jewish people new hope, showing them that the nation could continue even under the new circumstances, with its Torah and traditions (Oral Law) intact, clarified and accessible. At that time (the Second Destruction), non-traditional sects such as the Sadducees and the Essenes, either went extinct or drifted completely way from Judaism because of the hardships the Jews were experiencing. Judaism today can name only the Torah-sages as their spiritual forebears.

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 was the teacher of Rabbi Eliezer and Rabbi Yehoshua, two of the greatest sages of the Mishna (transmitters of the Oral Torah traditions). Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai is mentioned, among other places, in the second chapter of Pirkei Avos. As related in the Talmud (Gittin, folio page 56), it was thanks to his interceding that the Roman leader Vespasian allowed some of the Torah-sages to survive the Second Destruction when the Romans destroyed the Temple.
