How to Find Affordable Tutoring Near Me

How to Find Affordable Tutoring Near MeMany prospective parents have doubts when it comes to finding affordable tutoring near me. Whether you live in the city or the suburbs, the cost of transportation and accommodations are always prohibitive to most families. Yet, we must all remember that it is important to prepare our children for their future and that means education and training them is a priority. It's also crucial that we provide them with the best possible education so that they can meet their dreams and expectations.Tutoring is usually handled by private individuals, which is a problem when it comes to finding affordable tutoring. Private tutors tend to charge more since the government doesn't typically provide funding to private tutors. The government doesn't fund private tutors, so they don't generally provide free tuition. However, this does not mean you can't find affordable tutoring!In fact, most local public school district provides free or low-cost tutoring, but this is highly regulated and accredited. These tutors are typically part of the school's credit recovery and financial aid programs, and they are then reimbursed by the school for their services. However, the average tutoring fees are much lower than those charged by private tutors, and many tutors offer payment plans.Some schools will also subsidize the cost of your child's tuition and you may find that the local public school district covers half of the cost. There are also several resources available to assist you with finding affordable tutoring near me.Most people prefer to use online resources to find help for their children, as they are less expensive and convenient. They are available anywhere and you can simply request for an appointment or a tuition breakdown at any time. Plus, you'll save money since you won't have to pay for transportation or accommodations.However, it is important to remember that there are only a few companies that offer low cost tutoring, and only when yo u make an appointment to visit them personally. As you might expect, these tutors may not have been highly credentialed and you may need to spend some time and effort verifying their credentials before finally signing a contract.You can also consider looking for a tutoring school, which can often be found in your local community college. These tutors are considered government-subsidized and may charge slightly higher tuition rates. Still, these institutions will likely offer comparable or more affordable tuition than their private counterparts.

June Language Challenge Javis Update

June Language Challenge Javis Update My name is Javi, I work in e-marketing at italki and I’m taking the June language challenge! For this challenge I wanted to choose a very specific goal: learning a Chinese menu. There are so many Chinese culture and traditions around  food and meals that I am not aware of, so many dishes that I try and love but dont know how to describe, so many food-based idioms that I dont understand I’ve been living here for over a year and I still can’t order in Chinese! So this month I promised myself that all that would change. So after 3 weeks, Ive finished 8 lessons on italki and my Chinese teacher Catherine is awesome (I highly recommend her)!  This week I am trying to fit in 3 more lessons so all I need to do is 1 more this weekend to finish it.  Its been tough but I agree with Tracy in that you just need to schedule your lessons in advance  and set this time aside to meet your goals. So halfway through week 2, I went to lunch with a bunch of my colleagues as we welcomed our new summer intern Jiahong and they had me try and order off the menu.  It actually wasnt bad as I got about 75% of the food items correct.  I know I still have a  ways to go but I feel with these last 3 sessions and by reviewing what Ive learned using flash cards, I will most definitely meet my Challenge Goal! I hope you guys are enjoying the Challenge as much as I have.  Ive been at italki for almost a year now and its the first Challenge Ive participated in and its a really great experience!

7 Food Ordering Apps For Hungry Students

7 Food Ordering Apps For Hungry Students Image via Bich Tran at Pexels These three scenarios share a common  solution. Sometimes, cooking just requires too much effort and far too much time. Those thirty-minutes-or-less recipes always end up taking forty-five for one reason or another. Doing the dishes is another story. Sometimes (often), your food shopping schedule is thrown off by, well, life. Between multiple classes, internships, jobs and professional development opportunities, plus the demands of maintaining a strong social life, students know this all too well. Luckily, food ordering apps have risen in prominence and usefulness in the past few years. It’s the new way to order takeout, without the hassle of calling a noisy restaurant and hoping that your order is interpreted correctly on the other end. Food ordering apps can be true lifesavers if ever you encounter the above scenarios. Furthermore, it’s a real treat to have your favorite restaurant dish delivered to your door; you don’t even have to put real pants on, much less actually leave your house! By granting you a single space through which to browse hundreds (even thousands) of different restaurants, food ordering apps might even cause you to become more adventurous. You have almost too many options; you can order your favorite, trusty rustic Margherita pizza, or try a butternut squash gnocchi to mix things up. Maybe you’ll even decide to order from a place you’ve never heard of before, or spontaneously decide tonight is the night to explore Ethiopian food. There is no shortage of food-ordering app options out there for hungry students; here are seven food ordering apps to try out, and some ideas on what to order. 1. GrubHub Living in California’s Bay Area, I see GrubHub as one of the most prominent food ordering apps locally. It’s available in 900 cities! You can usually find a sign in the window of most popular restaurants that displays the GrubHub logo, meaning that restaurant is a participant. To use the GrubHub app, type in your location and you will find a list of restaurants in close proximity. If you have a specific food item in mind, like “pizza” or “sandwiches,” you can search specifically for thoseâ€"or, you can search based on cuisine for a broader selection of menu items. According to their website, you also have access to “reviews, coupons, special deals and a 24/7 customer care team that tracks each order and makes sure you get exactly what you want.” Given that so many restaurants are compatible with Grubhub, you can order almost anything that you’d like! I’m a huge pasta fan, so I’m usually searching for penne primavera or linguini with fresh tomato sauce and mozzarella sprinkled on top. The app makes recommendations for you based on your ordering history, so the more often you use the app, the more refined your recommendations will be. 2. Seamless Seamless is an app belonging to Grubhub’s brand portfolio, but I list it separately here because it is technically a separate app. This food delivery app is another option if you’re looking to order food without (usually) having to pay a delivery fee. Certain restaurants do enforce a fee, but overall the app does not charge delivery fees the way many other apps do. According to digitaltrends.com, however, there are often order minimums enforced if you order from the Seamless app. The app is available in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Miami, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, and they often offer discounts to new users, so if you’re on the fence and looking to try Seamless, you’ll have that incentive available. On Seamless, you can browse restaurants by city, or search over 75 cuisine options on the website. You can get really specific if you filter by cuisine; beyond the most highly advertised optionsAmerican, Italian, Mexican, Asian foodsSeamless offers categories such as Afghan, African, Cajun, Cuban, El Salvadoran, Egyptian, Filipino, Halal, Jamaican, Moroccan and Pakistani cuisine for its users. You can even search for bagels, bakery items, BBQ, frozen yogurt, smoothies, and ice cream. Gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, Kosher and low-carb eaters shouldn’t fret eitherthere are categories for each of you! Infographic by Julia Dunn 3. Tapingo Tapingo  is unlike the other food ordering apps on this list in that it is a college campus-based commerce app. According to their website, “[They] believe in a world where technology removes the hassles and stress of everyday transactionsâ€"so humans can focus on more important things. You know, human things.” Students can use Tapingo to order a coffee drink and pick it up at the campus coffee shop without having to wait in line, or they can use it to request deliveries from campus eateries.  Note that you can only use Tapingo to order from your campus restaurants if your university partners with the company; participating universities include San Jose State University, Temple University, The University of Texas-Austin, University of Wisconsin-Madison, University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, UCF, Arizona State University, Virginia Tech and more (Tapingo now serves  over 200 campuses  across the U.S. and Canada). Wikipedia notes that Tapingo users can “browse menus, place orders, pay for the meal and schedule the pickup or have it delivered. On certain campuses, students are able to use their universitys meal dollars to pay for food.” Furthermore, an  article  by VentureBeat states “The app knows your location and learns about your preferences over time to make contextual recommendations. For example, the app will know if you get a latte every morning and offer to place the order for you.” Sounds delightfully dangerous, doesn’t it? Out of the apps on this list, Tapingo is the most college student-orientedso if you find yourself hungry, running late for class, and without the time to stand in line waiting for somebody to make your sandwich, order it on the Tapingo app! This platform is gaining increasing amounts of traction, challenging the way consumers engage in mainstream commerce, and it could really save students some time in their daily routine. 4. HealthyOut   I only heard about HealthyOut somewhat recently, and as a vegetarian who loves “health food,” I decided to take a closer look. HealthyOut is a food delivery app focused on providing users with more information about various restaurant dishes than just the cuisine category to which it belongs. The app allows you to search for menu items that fall within a certain caloric range, as well as items that are tagged as paleo, pescatarian, low-carb, dairy-free, high protein or gluten-sensitive (and more). From here, the app will show you a list of local restaurants and the number of dishes on their menu that fit the criteria you set during your search. HealthyOut will even display a visual breakdown of a menu item’s composition (i.e. how much of it is fat, carbs, protein, and so on) for folks who really need to know what their food is made of. If you have highly specific dietary restrictions and want to understand what your options are for ordering delivery, HealthyOut may be the best app for you. Often times, students with specific dietary needs experience trouble at their university’s dining hall, and despite speaking with the chefs and managerial staff, they may find significantly fewer options that work for them in their meal plan. Perhaps HealthyOut can alleviate some stress for these students (although, of course, buying restaurant food regularly can add up). Image via Pexels 5. Eat24   Its slogan being “the best food in town, right in your pocket,” Eat24 has become a popular food delivery app that works with 20,000 restaurants and counting. Eat24, now under GrubHub’s management after having started out as a Yelp platform, is popular namely due to its unique “What’s Good” feature. According to Lifewire.com, Eat24 “uses an algorithm to pick out the absolute best dishes for you based on popular items, local tips and user reviews. You can even use your camera to scan your credit card through the app if youre the one picking up the tab!” Thus, students looking for a pretty comprehensive food delivery app may enjoy Eat24’s suggestions. 6. DoorDash   DoorDash has an interface fairly similar to its competitors, yet it maintains popularity among college students and the non-student population. Personally, I appreciate the real-time tracking feature that DoorDash provides after you place your order. From the comfort of wherever you are, you can watch your order move through the preparation and delivery processes and anticipate when it will arrive. An article by Digitaltrends.com highlights something called the “DoorDash Delight” scoring system. They note that “the ‘Delight Score’ uses factors such as food quality, restaurant popularity, delivery time, and customer satisfaction in order to recommend the best restaurants in your area.” For individuals who don’t necessarily know what they’d like to eat at a given time, checking out the “Delight Score” could help indecisive eaters make a decision based on several intersecting criteria. Additionally, if you’re in need of a job and don’t mind driving around town to different restaurants, DoorDash hires “Dashers” to complete delivery orders; they promise a flexible schedule, allowing Dashers to set their own working hours. 7. Uber Eats  The offspring of the San Francisco-based ride-requesting app, Uber, Uber Eats is exactly how it sounds: Uber for your food. They claim to make ordering takeout as easy as requesting a ride, and it’s pretty true: just add dishes to your cart, check out through the app, and wait for your items! Uber Eats is available in over 50 cities in 13 countries, and students with dietary needs can use the “Special Instructions” field to write down requests applicable to the dish they have ordered. Next time you’re hungry, take a few minutes to investigate the food ordering apps popular in your town. Each of the above apps operates under relatively similar parameters, yet their features differ slightly to accommodate varying populations. If you’re looking to really scour the food delivery app scene, check out Postmates and Delivery.com, both of which deliver more than just food. You may even want to see if your university partners with any of these companies (other than campus-based Tapingo) in order to offer special deals to students. As a graduate student at San Jose State University, I have received exclusive student-only offers from the campus bookstore for a few of the above food ordering apps, which is a nice perk! You can click here to find out the most popular food delivery app in your city, according to Recode, and here to discover what college students in other towns and states like to order most often on these apps as reported by USA TODAY College. Happy eating!

Speak Up! How to Improve Your Foreign Language Confidence

Speak Up! How to Improve Your Foreign Language Confidence Speak Up! How to Improve Your Foreign Language Confidence When many of us start speaking a new foreign language, it can seem like our favorite new words are  um, er and uh.After all, we say them all the time, so they must be our favorites, right?Its exciting and fun to start learning a new language, but it can be a bit disappointing when, after studying a little while, you find yourself saying filler words like um and uh more than any of the new words youve learned.Much of the time, though, you struggle not because you dont know the word, but because you doubt yourself.When youre learning any new skill, youre more than likely to feel uncomfortable with actually using it in the beginning, and thats OK. Its natural to be unsure of what youre doing at the start.Of course, youll also experience those same feelings of discomfort when youre learning a new language.It doesnt matter if youre learning that new language in a class or by yourself at home. Either way, those first conversations with native or fluent speakers can be nerve-racking.You mig ht stumble through your sentences worrying about where to place the negation in Japanese, whether or not youve chosen to use the right prefixes in German or if the idea youre trying to communicate is getting lost because of your accent when speaking French.Striking up conversation with a stranger is difficult enough for a lot of people. But doing it in another language? Forget about it!The fact of the matter is, youre never going to master that language without using it in conversation, but youre not going to get through a conversation (if youre even able to begin one) if you dont stop doubting yourself. So how do you push yourself toward speaking without hesitation in a foreign language? Speak Up! How to Improve Your Foreign Language ConfidenceIts easy to give advice like Be confident! or Dont worry! However, thats much easier said than done, since being confident (or worried) are basically uncontrollable reactions we have to a situation.In this post Ill try to give you some acti onable tips that you can follow, as well as a bit of good, old-fashioned motivational pep talk speech thrown in for good measure.Well start with things you should (and shouldnt) do with your body, since a lot of your emotions are manifested through body language.Then well look at how to deal with your accent and actually begin speaking in a foreign language, since a lot of language learners lack confidence because they struggle with those areas.So dont worry: Confidently keep reading and well get you all ready to talk in a foreign language!Work That Body!Lets start with body language.I know youre probably wondering, What the heck does my body language have to do with speaking  a foreign language?Body language is strongly linked to behavior. Studies have shown that one greatly affects the other. Ergo, working on your body language will impact your confidence when speaking another language.Body language: Fake it till you make itWhat do we do when we dont feel confident? We give away m uch more through  our body language than we do with our faces.We slouch, we speak softly, we dont occupy as much space as we usually would and we start breaking eye contact. You might even stop smiling or get an uncomfortable look on your face, which tends to make everyone feel a little bit uneasy!Observe your own behavior the next time you have a conversation. Are you maintaining eye contact? Are you speaking loudly and clearly? Are you standing up straight? These are just some things to think about the next time you approach someone with the intention of speaking in a foreign language.Make a habit out of ensuring that you maintain eye contact (unless thats frowned upon in the cultural context in which you find yourself), and be sure that you dont start fidgeting or trying to shrink down with your body.You tend to do these kinds of things when you feel that youre not in control of a situation. All those doubts you have about what youre saying will start to really show and, as weve said before, itll make conversing with people that much more difficult.You need to counteract all of those instinctive physical expressions of doubt.Be Golden with Your Eye ContactWhen it comes to appropriate eye contact, its all about achieving a balance between too much and not enough. You want to be the Goldilocks of eye contact and get things  just right.The golden rule for making eye contact is to do it about a third of the time for a comfortable conversation, and you can do even more once youve mastered it.Try not to have that shifty, uncertain gaze. Its acceptable if you break eye contact every now and then in conversation. Take a moment to look into the other persons eyes, then switch to something else, then back again; just be sure not to do so too often.Other Handy TipsDont stuff your hands into your pockets or fidget with your hands. If youre that nervous, try interlocking your fingers (behind your back, if necessary!) to keep yourself from doing these things.You can also try holding somethingâ€"anything that wont cause a distractionâ€"in your hands. Youll often find that public speakers do this to avoid that awkward, I dont know what to do with my hands look. If all else fails, try using your hands to clarify what youre trying to say (obviously, without going overboardunless youre a mime and thats your thing).And remember to smile!These might seem obvious but theyre good things to pay attention to regardless. It may not be that extreme for you, but no matter how confident you are when speaking your native tongue, youre going to change slightly when you switch to a foreign language. Keep that in mind.Word UpNow lets talk about actually speaking a foreign language.No matter how incorrect you think your use or pronunciation of a word or sentence is, remember the most important point of all: You should do everything you can to speak clearly and loudly.A Moment of ClaritySince youll be speaking to someone, its important that you dont start mumbling when you get nervous. Its difficult at times to know for sure when youre being too quiet, so remember to enunciate when you speak. This is especially important since youre trying to learn a new language.Try to fill the room (or your immediate area) with your voice. If it helps, pretend youre talking to your grandmother whos hard of hearing! Itll feel strange at first, but youll quickly grow accustomed to it.Even if you dont feel confident, you have to act like you are, at least for a while. The feelings of confidence while speaking will follow naturally, regardless of how well you actually speak. Thats what I mean by fake it till you make it.Youll find that most people are more than accommodating and, more often than not, theyll have fun helping you while youre trying to learn. Well get into that in just a bit.Now that youve pretty much mastered the basics of confident body language and how you should speak, the next thing were going to talk about is the batch of exaggerations and fabri cations you might have concocted in your head.Dont Worry: Most People Love an AccentAccentuate the PositivePeople are generally most afraid of being teased or mocked when they speak a new language. They cant stand the thought of native speakers laughing at their accents or their misuse of a word, even if they do it behind their backs.The thing is, people dont generally do that. In fact, accents can be attractive! And the people who mock or make fun of you in a mean-spirited way simply arent worth worrying about.People all over the world adore it when you try to speak their language, no matter how bad you are at it. Its worth it just to try. You dont have to be afraid of making yourself sound stupid. And even if you do sound a bit stupid, just enjoy it! Laugh it off with everyone else, and realize that some people might be surprised and even nervously chuckle a bit when you speak at first. Usually, they dont mean to.When that happens, its not something you should take personally even if it kind of feels personal at times.The truth is, its often hilarious when unexpected things happen, and people dont usually expect to hear their own language being spoken with a thick foreign accent. That doesnt mean people are laughing at you, theyre just laughing at the sound of your words.So laugh with them! Speak more! If its really that bad, most people will gladly help you, as long as youre genuinely trying to learn. Youre putting in effort and people love that, especially these days when its so easy to just switch to English when things get too tough.Know that there will definitely be times when you say the wrong thing in the right way or the right thing in the wrong way. It happens. But youre still learning.In fact, oftentimes youll discover that you actually know more than you think you do, but youre just too full of self-doubt to speak. So dont pause so much to think, just speak!No more umms and errs as you try to fill the silence, just so you can struggle to recall so me silly  grammatical structure or the correct placement of a preposition. Just speak, and let those beautiful new words you learned flow.Youll have fun, theyll have fun and you might find that through learning and being unafraid to speak, youll have made some new friends.The Takeaway: Just Speak!The next time you start talking to someone in a new language, remember what you learned here. Take a breath, stand up straight, approach the person youre going to converse with, start speaking and laughing and then, when all that is done, youll come back and thank me.Mastering your confidence, like mastering a language, comes with time, patience and practice. But controlling one will impact your control over the other.When you stop being afraid of speaking and really start mastering that language, new countries and experiences will unlock for you in completely new ways, and youll  encounter all kind of new people. Youll find opportunities you would have never been given otherwise.Thats all worth being the butt of a joke a couple of times, isnt it? So dont be afraid to be the fool: make those mistakes with confidence, and youll find that you actually make fewer mistakes than you thought you did.And slowly but surely, youll become more and more confident.Narayan Liu is a writer based in Sweden who has contributed to several websites, all of which revolve around his fascination with culture, both old and new.

How to Defeat Gender-Based Harassment In The Workplace - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / How to Defeat Gender-Based Harassment In The Workplace - Introvert Whisperer How to Defeat Gender-Based Harassment In The Workplace No surprise if we hear anything about harassment in the workplace. Today’s newspaper and social media platforms are popped up these kinds of news expressing the pain and sentiments of the victim. Let’s refresh your memory with #Metoo movements which recently in News and describes the stories of women’s sexual harassment and sexual assault across the world. This shows that women around the world are affected by gender-based crime that includes sexual assault and harassment, especially in their workplace. Any kind of sexual favours, inappropriate jokes, intimations, comments, and unwelcome physical contact reflects sexual assault. In India, the  Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013  is a legislative act which passed by the Lok Sabha on 3 September 2012 and by Rajya Sabha on 26 February 2013. This act protects women from sexual assault in their working areas either it is public or private. As per the report of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), more than 85% of women have to deal with some form of assault at their workplace. There are 162,872 harassment allegations received by the EEOC from 2010 to 2015. In India, there is a 54% rise in harassment cases at the workplace between 2014 to 2017. Time to stop the crime and madness What are we missing to stop the madness? That we need to search and implement a great strategy. “Actions speak louder than words” much-related statement to the situation; we all know the data and cases reported across the world but what we are doing to bring the end of all these happenings that matter. No woman can delete or just erase the professional life because of some other cruel mindsets and actions. Instead of deleting, we can raise our hand and can adopt some steps to lower down these kinds of acts in working areas: 1. Create sexual harassment training in workplaces and make it compulsory for every leader While working, we all follow some policies to infuse discipline and control in your organization. Policies that allow employees to take leaves or to modify their work for better results. But, this time we need to think beyond the usual things to protect employees without losing their enthusiasm and self-control. To fight these kinds of acts in workplaces, we must have to define the section of sexual harassment training and make it mandatory for managers and top-level members. Because of that, employees will understand the seriousness of the subject and how some activities negatively hurt someone’s feelings. Intense research of Eden King, an associate professor at Rice University, describes the significance of effective harassment training in work premises. She also highlights the reactions of people in power towards complaints lodged by the other colleagues for their misbehaviours. She emphasis face-to-face training for more impacts and support the active participation  of all employees either man or woman for the same. 2. Encourage more women into high-level designations To provide a fast pace to resolve the issue, we need to change our so-called strategy in which sexism symbolizes the residing of males on high perches preventing females from smashing the glass ceiling. An article “Training Programs and Reporting Systems Won’t End Sexual Harassment. Promoting More Women Will” that published in Harvard Business Review describes how to reduce sexual harassment by promotion more female employees on leader positions. The authors also state that most cases of workplace harassment witnessed under the leadership of male employees. Thus, the answer is simple for removing sexual assault from any organization that hires and promotes more females. Baloonr has conducted a study that expresses the views of about 35% of respondents on the solution of addressing the issue of harassment by providing more leadership roles to women. 3. Accept the need for intervention culture at organizations Very few organizations adopt the culture of promoting employees to present and discuss the case of harassment. This we called a culture of intervention. If this is possible in every organization where leaders will take initiative for providing protection and plays their role actively, then the cases of harassment will be reported easily and action could be taken accordingly. When employees notice that their organization is principled and taking this kind of act genuinely, their attitude will change and their knowledge will improve resulting in a better working and safe environment. Chai Feldblum, EEOC Commissioner, has shared his views to “Business Insider” in 2016 that companies first need to find out what kind of behaviours will not be tolerated at work. Once they have policies regarding unwelcome acts at the workplace then they need to take a step ahead and describe how to report about those actions easily. He further adds that people willingly will come to report inappropriate  acts if they feel that their complaints are taken seriously, inspected and lead to action. 4. Understand the requirements of changes All things start from a change; a change that opens the various channels of communication and enhancement. We need to change the perception of taking advantage of our position and power. Thus, the fight is about the deconstruction of false values infused by toxic thinking and the philosophy of sick minds. An article published on BBC describes the root cause of sexual assault is the old-aged beliefs and notions; A notion that men are more powerful than women, a notion that females are inferior than males and thought that men should act as aggressors and women should act gatekeepers. Changing someone’s thinking and mindsets is not possible within the four walls of a room, we need to begin the process at the earliest days of education and development. “Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything,” said George Bernard Shaw. Hence, the change will start from us and we require to change the thinking that promotes gender-based discrimination. Our thoughts and leadership must boost diversity and inclusion, and set the standards for whats suitable and unsuitable in terms of behaviour. 5. Adopting the culture of ingenuousness Why are we not able to develop the right process to address the issue? I think the answer is fear of revenge or maybe fear of being judged for no cause.   If you check out the reports of the “National Crime Victimization Survey,” we will find that only one in three sexual harassment cases is reported. And the reason for not reporting the cases could be fear of retaliation. This is because people in higher position are not taking the responsibility seriously. A leader should create and build a work environment where victims feel safe and can come forward to report their cases. This strategy will promote a healthy and safe working environment for employees and can help to stop sexual harassment to a great extent. An open-door policy must infuse into the system reflecting the caring behaviour of managers towards subordinates. Leaders ensure victims that they are serious towards these issues and eager to know whats going on with the  team if anything discussed quickly and openly. 6. Fight against gender bias physiology When we move forward, we find a gender gap. We are putting our effort and energy to reduce it but still, it is there. But this gap becomes wider in last year as per the report of  a March Institute for Womens Policy Research in which women are facing various issues. As per the New Yorker, various technology companies (Google,  Twitter, Microsoft, and Uber) are unable to take corrective actions to tackle  class-action gender-discrimination suits.   An audit on Google employees pays practices has been conducted by the Department of Labour and noticed that there is a systemic compensation inequality against women pretty much across the entire staff. It also reveals the presence of six to seven standard deviations between pay for males and females in almost every job class.
