He taught me calculus and a ton of molecular biology. An amazing resource and it’s totally free. He definitely deserves a medal.

My son learned to read by age 4, and this man is pretty much the reason why.

I lived on his calc and physics videos in college- I think I probably learned more from them than I did from most of my professors.

This guy saved me when schools were shutting down and going online for covid! The way math is taught now is so different from when I was learning as a kid. When my kids were doing school online, I would go to Khan Academy the night before each lesson to see how they were supposed to be learning it now so I could help my kids learn the next day's lesson. The math and chemistry lessons were a huge lifeline. Every summer, I ask the kids to do two KA lessons a day in math and it has really helped them not to have those summertime backslides too. Salman Khan deserves a medal!

When I saw the name ‘Salman Khan’ I was thinking of another guy by the same name; a little more famous than this guy.

Khan Academy has gotten my boys through so many math classes! I’m so grateful to Salman Kahn and the teachers who have contributed.

I remember checking khan academy out back in like 2010 and hoping he was able to get it to take off. Super happy reading these comments. It seems like it has done very well

He’s helped me out in the last decade as an adult with my career. Wish he was around when I was still in school

Annie Liebovits works are always look glamour and majestic but not this one, she really captured the humbleness of Khan, awesome photo and concept.

He might be great to some, but try watching this with a bunch of high schoolers.

His videos do well with a lot of people who are self-motivated but have bad real life instructors or resources.

If the Khan Academy had been around in the 1980s, I would have skipped the social hell that was High School!
