  • Did you know that over 7 million people are taking at least one course online? Sal Khan got the ball rolling in 2006 when he founded the Khan Academy. If the image of a bustling quad come to mind, you're wrong because it's all online.

      I have always thought that Sal sounds very different in his older videos.
      In those videos he sounds like he has just got out of bed and is still kinda groggy, whereas in his newer videos he sounds super-enthusiastic.

    Sal khan the only reason why a poor truck driver from india who discontinued studies and was a very bad maths student....was able to get back at studying...i mastered algebra II upto now...well on track to take on one of the toughest exam in the entire country....I gained so much confidence in maths...i believe i am so good in maths now that i can take on the best students and still score ....i cant thank him enough....thanks for evening the odds for poor people like me.

    One thing I really like about this guy is that he is so laidback - a lot of math teachers are so damn stiff and overly serious, whereas Sal Khan is relaxed and has a sense of humour.

Universities in my country have entrance exam's on High School level math, and are not easy. Do you think I will be able to get myself ready for university in math and physics just by using Khan Academy? I want to enrol, and do not want to waste any more time.
