Over time, learners are free to build their skills and become volunteer tutors themselves by getting certified in topics they have mastered. During sessions, learners can ask a certified volunteer tutor questions about the topic at hand just like they would in a classroom. The platform is home to sessions covering topics from pre-algebra through calculus, SAT prep, and more. Schoolhouse.world offers free, live peer-to-peer tutoring for anyone aged 13 or older. Go to if you are interested in being one of the first tutors or students.- Salman Khan June 16, 2020 Working on a project for volunteers to run group tutoring sessions over zoom. To make his vision a reality, Sal spearheaded the creation of schoolhouse.world, with help from Coda and Khan Lab School. It certainly was going to be a challenge, but there was no time better than a pandemic to test out a solution to this growing difficulty. In light of this unprecedented problem, Sal Khan saw the opportunity to revisit the goals he laid out in The One World Schoolhouse. This led to the creation of major learning gaps as many learners were not receiving the help they needed while navigating their virtual classrooms. During this time, schools were shut down and hundreds of millions of students didn’t have access to live help as they worked through their academic coursework. Is there really any better way to learn a language or have a global perspective than by regularly interacting with teachers and students around the planet?Įight years later, in March 2020, COVID-19 was declared as a global pandemic. Imagine students in Tehran tutoring students in Tel Aviv or students in Islamabad learning from a professor in New Delhi. Students and teachers in San Francisco could interact with those in Toronto, London, or Mumbai. The various outposts of our schoolhouse would therefore be interconnected as well, through things like Skype or Google Hangouts. Yes- a complex world, and an interconnected one. As Khan Academy was gaining traction as an effective way to educate the world, Sal wrote his ambitious vision for educating learners across the world to an unprecedented level. In 2012, Sal Khan, Founder of Khan Academy, published The One World Schoolhouse: Education Reimagined.
