Tong Zhe (Chinese: 童哲, born 8 May 1987) is a Chinese educator known as the founder of One-Man University akin to Khan Academy.

Degree disputes

There have been disputes about Tong's misleading advertising about his degrees. Tong has used ambiguous words such as "undergraduate study at PKU, master's study at ENS" ("北大本,高师硕") to mislead his audience to believe that he had gained a B.S. degree at Peking University and a master's degree at ENS Paris. Forced by the large waves of criticism about this conduct, Tong then posted a blog to clarify his degree situation.
