Sal Khan

What started as a way of tutoring his cousins from a distance has turned into a world–changing project that is upending the way that people learn—and the way we currently think about education. Sal Khan, an MIT and Harvard–educated hedge fund manager, created online videos for his cousins to tutor them through math and science. With over 2,200 tutorials and over 100,000 people viewing his lessons each day, the Khan Academy was born. Harvard Business Review recently stated that Khan will successfully educate more people in math and science over the next decade than Harvard has over its entire history.
