Math Coachs for Khan Academy

[George Sliter]

I am considering being a volunteer "Coach" for the kids in my area who are using KA or who would benefit from using KA but don't know about it.  I would advertise it all over town and offer to be a coach for anyone.  I would be available by phone or Skype during an hour each day.  The service would be free, but donations would be gratefully accepted.   Has anyone heard of a /volunteer professional Khan coach?  Don't you think it's a great idea for us all to get behind?

If the videos are so fabulous, why would a coach be necessary? If they're not, why not cut to the chase and find a quality instructor?

I am not at all a fan of these videos. For something far better, try James Tanton's videos on YouTube or via his site. All free, vastly more worthwhile, on my view. Real mathematical thought.
