Deep dives
Foundation of Khan Academy
Khan Academy began as a personal tutoring initiative when Sal Khan helped his cousin Nadia with math while she was struggling in school. Realizing the impact of personalized attention, he expanded his tutoring to other family members, which led him to develop educational software to assist with learning. This small intervention not only improved Nadia's educational trajectory but also highlighted the potential of technology in making learning accessible. Encouraged by the positive feedback from his cousins, Khan turned his focus towards creating video lessons, which laid the groundwork for the platform's future success.
