Sal was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana.Sal is a financial analyst with degrees from MIT and Harvard.In August 2004, Sal Khan began remotely tutoring his cousin, Nadia, who was struggling with calculating, which was not allowing her to be placed in the more advanced maths track.Since Nadia was in New Orleans, and Sal was in Boston working at a financial firm at the time.Sal started tutoring her through the phone and Yahoo Doodle after work.

As Nadia improved in maths class, word got around and Sal started tutoring a handful of his cousins and family members.Scheduling became a real issue, and he decided to begin recording videos and posting them on YouTube in 2006, so everyone could watch at their own pace.More and more people started watching, and Sal has been making videos ever since.The organisation became a nonprofit in 2008.
