As a student, the website is not that bad, but khan just lacks an explanation as to why the formulas are written in a certain way. What I absolutely HATE about this platform is that if you get a quest... See more

BAD BAD BAD!!

BAD BAD BAD!!! How to turn young people off school and education!!
My 10 year old son is set Khan academy for his homework every week. The videos are far too long, use techniques which are too long winded. The chat in between is tedious. My son switches off from it straight away - he HATES it. My older son was Ok with it but if you are not strongly academic it is terrible. And the fact is it is American and we are in the UK means students are learning the wrong spellings of things. When the tutors write things they put capital letters in the wrong places too. The names and scenarios they use are not easy to digest either. It's soul destroying when he gets one wrong and has to start again. Khan Academy please think about the range of students you are providing for. I am a teacher of 20 years and I would NEVER teach in the way you do. Appalling!

Not enough

I like how it is free and that they have an AI. However, they don't have courses for elementary science and history, and they need language courses. It isn't very interactive, and I think there should be games. There needs to be 11th and 12th grade language arts.

Perfect Experience

Beautiful and helpful website. I love how Khan Academy lets education be free to those who access it. I used to take it as not very helpful, but now I appreciate how it works, especially compared to the alternatives. Khan Academy has everything, for everyone, and it's free to use. What else can you ask for? It gives detailed explanations for you while also letting you challenge yourself. Gold star company, these people are rare treasures to the educational field.

It is a very good website if you are…

It is a very good website if you are studying for a degree. You can quickly read and reference the materials to support your points.
It isn't very interactive, with a few practice activities at the end of each unit.
That being said, it is free of charge, so take it as it is, a good free resource to use.

It's good

It's a bit boring, but the coding lessons are the best!
And in the videos, they explain it easily. IXL is garbage compared to this.

Content-rich, but non-interactive content

So, let me get straight to the point: Khan Academy's content library has lots of content, which is great for people who enjoy free learning and want to learn a lot of stuff. But what's bad about it? Well, this website enforces learning in a boring and non-interactive way. There are only videos and articles for learning, and this BORES ME TO DEATH. Can y'all just make learning more fun by adding real-time feedback and simple explanations to your courses to make learning efficient? Or allow users to form a REAL learning habit with game-like progress tracking and friendly reminders? And you know what's worse? You keep removing badges from the website, and all the gamified features (Earning energy points to customise the avatar and the profile background) were all removed!! Please listen to my feedback, and improve your website, so learning can be efficient and fun!

Upgrading Skills for Grad School

I've been using Khan Academy for a few months to upgrade my skills before applying to grad school, as I missed some calculus, stats, and economics courses in my undergrad.
I really like that Khan Academy is helping me to understand the concepts and build my knowledge and skills, without having to pay hundreds of dollars for upgrading courses. The caveat here is that this is purely for knowledge, and no credits are available (but pairing Khan Academy for learning with Sophia or StraighterLine speed-runs to get transfer credits may be a good wallet-friendly route).
So far, I only have two quibbles: first, the "Get Ready for College Calculus" is mainly a path cobbled together from modules that, in their normal places, flow together, but assembled in such a way that occasionally a quiz will test something whose module wasn't included. Second, I haven't found any way to download my learning history or any proof of my skills (so I may end up doing a speed-run through a paid, accredited platform anyway).
I give Khan Academy four stars for being a solid learning platform, and if the upskilling helps get me into my chosen grad school program, I'll definitely bump this rating to five stars.

UPDATE (27 April 2026): Halfway through my graduate studies, and I'm pleased to report that Khan Academy did in fact help me get into my preferred program. They've earned that fifth star.

Khan Academy - Portuguese Version

I am using the Portguese version of Khan which is funnily enough funded by the company I work for, but I'm using it for my personal use, and it has been an amazing journey so far I've learned so much, it's making my long-term goals seem reachable so I've to thank that platform for that.
