Khan Academy Reviews

“great free homework help

Pros

My favorite thing is that my students can find free videos to help them figure out their assignments.

Cons

I often have a hard time finding specific topics I'm looking for on the site.

“A game-changer for the SAT

Pros

I used Khan Academy to get ready for my SAT and it was a game-changer. I took the test twice and only studied with Khan Academy for less than an hour between them and my score went up 40 points! I bet if I'd studied more with it, I could have done even better. The best part? It's free! It even uses your first test results to create a study plan.

Cons

I have no complaints. I love how it gives me practice questions based on what I got wrong on my last test.

“Learn anywhere, anytime

Pros

I can learn the courses I need, whenever and wherever I want. It's a great community for building knowledge.

Cons

I am really happy with everything I've been able to learn on Khan Academy.

“Great courses and test prep

Pros

I really like how it sets up its courses. The videos and walkthroughs are great for students and the test prep section is especially useful.

Cons

The content feels a bit limited. The main subjects are covered well but as a complete learning tool, it needs more elective topics. The Computer Science section, for example, isn't as in-depth as it could be.

“Keeps students on track

Pros

It's awesome for keeping students on track with weekly plans, from algebra all the way down to basic 3rd grade math. I also love the practice tests for things like the LSAT.

Cons

There isn't a single part of this software that I haven't enjoyed using.

“Loved the free trial!

Pros

I really loved the free trial. It helped me figure out what I actually wanted to learn.

Cons

I didn't like that they send emails and notifications all the time, 24/7.

“Free and full of practice

Pros

They give you a high-quality education for free and you get to actually practice the concepts, not just learn the theory.

Cons

I can't really think of anything that needs to be improved.

“wealth of resources for every subject!

Pros

It is a great place to share ideas and pick up new skills. The resources cover every subject you can think of.

Cons

There are only a few Health and PE lessons. I'd really like to see more lessons about Mental Health.

“Easy app with free courses

Pros

There are tons of free courses with interactive videos. The app was easy to install and doesn't take up much space. Navigating the app is really simple, so it works well for both beginners and pros.

Cons

The course content is often too basic and doesn't have much detail or analysis. The user interface could be more interactive and visually appealing. And they need to add more important major courses for free.

“Very helpul solution!

Pros

It's free, it has helpful videos and the whole thing is just so well put together. There's a massive number of practice questions that go beyond what we even do in school.

Cons

Searching for specific topics can be tricky especially on a school account, because you get a lot of results that aren't right for the student's grade level.

“My favorite teaching tool

Pros

This is my go-to when my students are struggling with a topic. It's perfect for re-teaching something, thanks to its great informational videos.

Cons

So far, I haven't found a single thing to complain about while using it.
