Khan Academy<\/a>. It\u2019s a free website that has a knack for teaching some of the more complicated school subjects, like chemistry, calculus and economics. It\u2019s really amazing because it\u2019s a great way to teach both kids and adults and it is totally free.<\/p>\nTo be inspired, watch the 60 Minuets story below and then go check out the website yourself. I\u2019m actually interested in taking another stab at more advance math that I was never successful at picking up in high school. It’s very tempting.<\/p>\n
But they have literally hundreds of topics, so check it out and see if something interests you.<\/p>\n
