KelaseDars (a.k.a KhanacademyFarsi)

The Story

It was around Fall 2012 that Sal Khan visited Stanford. His work in Khanacademy inspired me to do the same, but in Farsi. I founded KelaseDars. Soon we became a small, but dedicated team (Mohammad, Reza, Alireza, and Sahar, all PhD students at Stanford at the time). In about 12 months of part-time to full-time voluntary work, we recorded hundreds of videos for high schoolers in subjects such as calculus, geometry, physics, game theory, and so on. For each topic, we would study the topic, and review the Farsi text books. Then design a curriculum for that topic, and record a number of 8 to 10 minute videos to cover that curriculum. KelaseDars has delivered more than 3,000,000 lessons so far, to Farsi-speaking students all around the globe. Every day we receive emails from students who want to let us know that KelaseDars has helped them to study for a test, prepare for the university entrance exam, or study at home because they cannot go to school for many different reasons.
