The Khan Academy is a not-for-profit educational organization, created in 2006 by MIT graduate educator Salman Khan. [1]

The Khan Academy is a not-for-profit educational organization with the mission of providing a world-class education to anyone, anywhere. [...] It was created by Salman Khan and provides a free online collection of more than 2,000 (and growing) videos on mathematics, science, history, and economics. [2]

With the stated mission of “providing a high quality education to anyone, anywhere”, the website supplies a free online collection of more than 2,400 micro lectures via video tutorials stored on YouTube teaching mathematics, history, finance, physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, economics and computer science. [...] Their popularity there and the testimonials of appreciative students prompted Khan to quit his job in finance in 2009 and focus on the tutorials (then released under the moniker “Khan Academy”) full-time. [1]

Once you get your feet wet, you may want to try some of the videos in the “Algebra I Worked Examples” playlist. [3]

Students from around the world have been attracted to Khan’s concise, practical and relaxed teaching method. [2]

Eric Marcos’ sixth-grade math students are making their own video tutorials to explain math to fellow students, reports KQED’s MindShift. [4]

When other relatives and friends sought his tutelage, he decided it would be more practical and beneficial to distribute the tutorials on YouTube which he joined in November 2006. [2]

The best teachers would have time to work closely with more students. [4]

Start here if you have very little background in math fundamentals (or just want to make sure you do). [...] Topics covered from very basic algebra all the way through algebra II. [3]

After earning three degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (a BS in mathematics, a BS in electrical engineering and computer science, and an MS in electrical engineering and computer science) he pursued an MBA from Harvard Business School. [1]

Probably still useful if you want to make sure you have a solid understanding of basic high school math. [3]

When other relatives and friends sought similar help, he decided it would be more practical to distribute the tutorials on YouTube. [1]
