Khan Academy

The Khan Academy is a not-for-profit educational organization created in 2006, by Salman Khan. With the stated mission of "providing a high quality education to anyone, anywhere", the website supplies a free online collection of over 2,200 micro lectures via video tutorials stored on YouTube teaching mathematics, history, finance, physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, and economics.

Speaking as an American living with many struggling and failing public schools, I am eager to share this site with you. I just discovered the site a few months ago, and have already set up for my daughter. I am even using the site myself to strengthen my own math skills! I am excited, and thrilled when I see my daughter improved her math skill after a week of practiced.Here's the link Khan Academy
