I'm surprised Socratica didn't merit a mention.

This one is very strange, at least the abstract algebra videos (the only one I glanced at): It’s a hired actress with no apparent math background reading a script she’s never seen before, but the script is the shortened summary of a very dry abstract algebra textbook. I don’t really see the point vs. just reading the book yourself.

Their "about" page has testimonials from the "Great Thinkers" Isaac Newton, Hermione Granger, and The Sun.


> It’s a hired actress

Maybe that's it? Learning Maths from a conventionally attractive person has got to have an effect on how much you learn.

I wonder if this is something that's been researched before?
