[kictanet] Khan Academy online tutorials - quite an amazing story

[Andrea Bohnstedt]

I actually found it in the print edition in one of the last Sunday Times,
but it's been covered elsewhere, too:

Salman Khan worked as a hedge fund manager when he started tutoring his
cousins over email and phone in maths. Then he tried out Youtube clips -
that was so successful that he eventually quit his job to do this full-time.
All the clips are free, so if you fancy doing a bit of maths, or want your
kids to get better at it, or want to learn something else, you can find them
here:

Here's his story:

Hoorah for the internet!

Have a good weekend,
Andrea
