As a student, the website is not that bad, but khan just lacks an explanation as to why the formulas are written in a certain way. What I absolutely HATE about this platform is that if you get a quest... See more

Very hard to use

Ok, I guess, but super long-winded explanations that are hard to understand. I do badly at this math, but my Saxon Algebra books are actually MUCH easier! At this website, they provide no easy explanation for formulas or ANYTHING, really. Totally get the 3.6 star average. If you are only able to afford this, it is helpful. Otherwise, extremely badly organized and not as good as any textbook I have EVER seen! Do not recommend, if you can afford anything else.
EDIT: Now on top of everything else they are having crappy technical issues which include just reloading my quiz so I can't finish it. Never use this site - it is trash.

BAD BAD BAD!!

BAD BAD BAD!!! How to turn young people off school and education!!
My 10 year old son is set Khan academy for his homework every week. The videos are far too long, use techniques which are too long winded. The chat in between is tedious. My son switches off from it straight away - he HATES it. My older son was Ok with it but if you are not strongly academic it is terrible. And the fact is it is American and we are in the UK means students are learning the wrong spellings of things. When the tutors write things they put capital letters in the wrong places too. The names and scenarios they use are not easy to digest either. It's soul destroying when he gets one wrong and has to start again. Khan Academy please think about the range of students you are providing for. I am a teacher of 20 years and I would NEVER teach in the way you do. Appalling!

Not enough

I like how it is free and that they have an AI. However, they don't have courses for elementary science and history, and they need language courses. It isn't very interactive, and I think there should be games. There needs to be 11th and 12th grade language arts.

Perfect Experience

Beautiful and helpful website. I love how Khan Academy lets education be free to those who access it. I used to take it as not very helpful, but now I appreciate how it works, especially compared to the alternatives. Khan Academy has everything, for everyone, and it's free to use. What else can you ask for? It gives detailed explanations for you while also letting you challenge yourself. Gold star company, these people are rare treasures to the educational field.

It is a very good website if you are…

It is a very good website if you are studying for a degree. You can quickly read and reference the materials to support your points.
It isn't very interactive, with a few practice activities at the end of each unit.
That being said, it is free of charge, so take it as it is, a good free resource to use.

It's good

It's a bit boring, but the coding lessons are the best!
And in the videos, they explain it easily. IXL is garbage compared to this.
