Sorted's compound-interest explainer

I love when someone explains a tricky concept well. 

Tom Hartmann from Sorted does a great job explaining compound interest to a first-time learner. He:

  • does not assume too much prior knowledge

  • uses analogies and examples to help explain things

  • has a video for people who prefer watching over reading

  • talks directly to readers, using 'you' and 'your'.

The result? 

People have lots of 'ways in' to the information. 

It's a page for a wide audience that's likely to work well, regardless of literacy level.
