Some time ago, Mr. Khan was asked to tutor his niece and nephew in math. He lived in the northern U.S. and they lived in the southern U.S. They loved his videos because they could play them over and over until they understood the concept. 2,200 videos later, he covers many subjects in a nice manner. Check out the link, and scroll down until you see a topic you would like explained. Each video is not very long, and you can study many topics that we don't fully cover at Chapin, like Organic Chemistry and Calculus.These videos are not just for children---they're for anyone interested in learning. Students, please check with your parents before clicking the link.
