In 2004, Salman Khan began tutoring his seventh grader cousin in math over the internet. The former hedge fund manager, MIT graduate, and Harvard MBA, then began recording lessons and uploading them onto the newly created YouTube from his Palo Alto closet. Along with dancing babies and cute kittens, Khan’s tutorials gained a substantial following and grew into the highly regarded not-for-profit Khan Academy “with the goal of providing a free world-class education for anyone anywhere.” Khan has been called Bill Gates’ favorite teacher and was voted one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people in the world for 2012.
