Hi, thanks for the comment. We couldn't agree more. There's a systemic problem with STEM education that affects the entire industry.

We welcome female experts and will be doing outreach in this area. On the bright side, we've had quite a few female customers already and are happy to be contributing to righting wrongs.

Not familiar with Plural Sight, but our service connects customers with tech experts over video and screen sharing for hours at a time. The AirPair experts range from senior software engineers with specialty in certain tech (Rails, JavaScript, .NET, Oracle, etc, etc) who are also great mentors to thought leaders in their domains (e.g., core AngularJS committers).

These experts help customers ramp up on new tech and solve complex problems via pair programming and real time help.

Let us know if you have any other questions.
