5). Interviewer : And how did it all start?
6). Tim: I live on the east coast and my sister lives thousands of miles away. She told me that her kids had problems with math at school, so I started to give them lessons on YouTube. Then I began to get feedback from total strangers. That's what gave me the idea for my academy.
7). Interviewer : Education for anyone anywhere?
8). Tim : Exactly.
9). Interviewer : Why are your lessons so attractive to so many people?
10). Tim : One reason is that it feels like I'm really sitting next to a person. But another important reason is that lessons are individual because everyone can work as fast or as slowly as they want.
11). Interviewer : Do you think all teaching and learning will be online in future?
12). Tim: I don't think so. There will still be schools and colleges, but they'll be different. We're already testing a new method in the United States. Students watch my videos for homework, then they come to the classroom and are given problems to check that they've understood. If they have any difficulties, the teacher helps. There are no books in the classroom and no lectures by the teacher.
13). Interviewer :What if students don't have a computer at home?
14). Tim : The colleges stay open late, so students can use the computers there.
15). Interviewer : Is this the future of education, Tim?
16). Tim : I think it is. It's flexible, it's individual, and a teacher can work with large groups. And the students love it.
17). Interviewer : Thanks for talking to us, Tim.
