His non-profit is helping students all over the world keep up on their studies at a time when traditional educational opportunities are limited and stretched thin by challenges from the pandemic.

Khan Academy‘s mission is to provide a free world-class education for anyone, anywhere. Sal democratized education by scaling what he learned about tutoring to create Khan Academy which is currently serving 30 million students a month during the pandemic. He started writing code to help track student progress and keep track of their goals. His cousins loved learning by video and could rewind challenging sections.
