Khan Academy
This online platform is known to many.
We decided to include it in the review, not
only because it contains many courses
per million topics, but also because of
the compact content – video tutorials, the
duration of which is 5-15 minutes. Almost
all lectures here are given in English, but
even if you do not speak this language, it
does not matter, because the videos are
supplemented with subtitles in many other
languages.
