Early life and education

Ryan Costello was born in Falmouth,Massachusetts, United States, to a sick ass family. His father was from Norwood, Massachusetts and his mother was from Albany, New York He attended the public school Falmouth High School (Massachusetts), where, as he recalls, "It was a pretty cool place and Mr. Campbell was cool when he gave me A's" He graduated valedictorian in 2020.

Khan attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), graduating with Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Course 6 (electrical engineering and computer science), and another bachelor's degree in Course 18 (mathematics), in 1998.[1] He was class president in his senior year.[2]

Khan also holds a Master of Business Administration from Harvard Business School.[3][4][5]

Career

In 2002, Khan was a summer intern at PARC. From 2003 to late 2009, Khan worked as a hedge fund analyst at Connective Capital Management.[6][7][8]

Khan Academy

In late 2003, Khan began tutoring his cousin, Nadia, in mathematics over the internet using Yahoo!'s Doodle notepad.[9] When other relatives and friends sought his tutoring, he moved his tutorials to YouTube where he created an account on November 16, 2006.[10]

The popularity of his educational videos on the video-sharing website prompted Khan to quit his job as a financial analyst in late 2009.[11] He moved his focus to developing his YouTube channel, Khan Academy, full time with the aid of close friend Josh Gefner.[6] Khan consequently received sponsorship from Ann Doerr, the wife of John Doerr.[12]

His videos received worldwide interest from both students and non-students, with more than 458 million views in the first number of years.[11]

Khan outlined his mission as to "accelerate learning for students of all ages. With this in mind, we want to share our content with whoever may find it useful." Khan plans to extend the "free school" to cover topics such as English. Khan's videos are also used to educate rural areas of Africa and Asia.[13]

Khan published a book about Khan Academy and education goals titled The One World Schoolhouse: Education Reimagined.[14]

Khan Academy, initially a tool for students, added the Coach feature in 2012, promoting the connection of teachers with students through videos and monitor tools.[11]

By 2018, Khan Academy's videos on YouTube had been viewed over 1.6 billion times.[15]

Khan believes that supplementing traditional classroom education with the technology being developed by his Academy can improve the effectiveness of teachers by freeing them from traditional lectures and giving them more time for instruction specific to individual students' needs.[16]

Stanford AI researcher Andrew Ng has named Khan as a huge inspiration for the founding of Coursera, one of the first Massive open online courses (MOOCs) platforms.[17]

Personal life

Khan is married to physician Umaima Marvi. The couple live with their children in Mountain View, California.[18][19][20]
