Khan Academy
Khan Academy is a free learning platform for independent learners, teachers, and parents, with more than 840 courses in core subjects for K–12 and early college. Its personalized courses help learners work toward mastery and address gaps. Khanmigo provides tutoring that guides students from elementary school through college toward answers across academic subjects. Teachers can use Khanmigo tools for planning lessons, giving feedback, summarizing student work, and preparing rubrics and exit tickets. Khan Academy for Teachers adds standards-aligned practice, progress tracking, and AI support. The Android, iOS, and web offering includes interactive exercises, mastery levels, synced progress, offline video downloads, and a scratchpad in the mobile app. Children ages 2–8 have a separate free, ad-free Khan Academy Kids app with books, games, and creative lessons. The core platform is free; individual Khanmigo parent and learner subscriptions cost 4.00 USD per month and are limited to the United States. Paid Khanmigo requires subscribers to be at least 18, live in the U.S., and have a U.S. billing address.
