Khan Academy online tutorials - quite an amazing story
I actually found it in the print edition in one of the last Sunday Times, but it's been covered elsewhere, too: Salman Khan worked as a hedge fund manager when he started tutoring his cousins over email and phone in maths. Then he tried out Youtube clips - that was so successful that he eventually quit his job to do this full-time. All the clips are free, so if you fancy doing a bit of maths, or want your kids to get better at it, or want to learn something else, you can find them here: http://www.khanacademy.org/ Here's his story: http://money.cnn.com/2010/08/23/technology/sal_khan_academy.fortune/index.ht...
