A New Kind Of Teacher

Sal Khan in his walk-in closet office.

            Sal Khan, no it's not a place, it's a man. He is a man that has done something free for the world. Sal Khan runs Khan Academy. He's started a school, for free. That's right, free education. He quit his job as a Hedge-fund manager and decided to take his Harvard MBA and throw it out the window. Now, he teaches out of his walk-in closet for free. He has put together a very comprehensive list of video tutorials for virtually every subject. He's even gotten recognition from Bill Gates (Gates being a student). Check out this video praise from Gates at Ideas Festival 2010.

           Khan's videos never shows his face and you only hear his voice. His videos are done with just a few hundred dollars worth of video equipment and a electronic blackboard. With subjects ranging from The Atom to The 4-part French Revolution study. Khan has brought something to the internet that we as a society have needed for a long time, free legitimate education. His lessons are straight forward and very layman. His videos are almost done in a conversational manner.Bottom line go to his site www.khanacademy.org and further your education, it seems there are no more excuses for not going back to school. If your already in school, go to the site and *presto* free tutor.

ENJOY!
