Cambly Kids Demo Class Tips!

[@Connor-fg9qg]

Just checked out your blog. I've been subscribed to your channel for a few months now and had no idea that you lived in Iowa! I'm from the Quad Cities area. I was born in IA and grew up on the IL side of the Mississippi River. I now live in Spain. Small world!

[@Betweenengland]

Cool! Yes I lived just outside of Dubuque for 4yrs! I have been to the IL side of the Quad Cities a couple of times :) Hope you are enjoying you time in Spain!

Thank you ma'am

Thank you so very much now my excitement level is at an all time high... i was stressing about my demo but now I see that it will be ok. Your guidance is invaluable. #muchrespect

Hi, thank you so much for your help with these videos, it's helped more than you know! Can I ask you which app do you use on the tablet you are holding? I could really make use of something showing shapes, colours and other basic questions for kids.

[@Betweenengland]

Hello! The flash card type images are just in the camera roll/photos app on my iPad. I organise them into folders just so I can find them quicker. The whiteboard/drawing app is ‘sketch book’ :)

I want to register my child. What is the best tablet brand and size to buy for 5 years old child?

[@Betweenengland]

Many use iPads. The bigger the screen the bigger the lesson slides will be which makes it easier to interact :)

[@mai2614]

@@Betweenengland thank you for your reply.. will buy ipad

Hi Kylie, thank you for all of your helpful Cambly videos. I applied to CK yesterday but I forgot to use your link! I'm so sorry! I just sent a message to Cambly (I already tutor on the adult side) asking if I could please still use your link. I hope so! My tutor name is Caty K.

[@Betweenengland]

Awh thank you for the thought! Good luck!!!

[@DaysOfSodaAndLantana]

Once you are accepted and are doing actual lessons, do they provide each lesson or do you come up with your own?

[@Betweenengland]

Cambly kids have lessons, regular Cambly doesn’t. Some of the lessons are quite short though so it’s good to have a bank of games or websites to screen share at the end 😊

[@rachelprice6671]

What app do you use to make your flash cards on your I pad thanks 😊

[@Betweenengland]

I’m not sure if they have an app, but I use canva.com :) I’ve got a note to make a video about how I make them but it’s just finding the time to record it!

[@rachelprice6671]

@@Betweenengland thank you 😊

[@Hey_Its_Mikki]

How's the demand for teachers right now?

[@Betweenengland]

We recently got emails saying they were looking for more :)

[@goal2Bbilingual]

Kylie, Do you get to redo the video as many times as you want before submitting it?

[@Betweenengland]

As far as I'm aware, yes. I couldn't view my video before submitting it though, so I kind of had to think 'was I happy with that?'. If not, you literally just record and try again!

[@mariaearthangel7251]

My daughter applied 2 weeks ago the application was accepted and she has still heard nothing from them could you please advise here...

[@future9715]

Well, from what I've heard Cambly doesn't help tutors with anything. Let her teach on Tutlo(more lessons and money) or Italki(almost no requirements)

[@parakletosstudentacademy619]

Please forward your complete referral code. I have already applied and want to complete my application by putting in your referral code. I found your video's great.

[@Betweenengland]

Thank you! My referral code is www.cambly.com/invite/KYLIE211?st=081921&sc=4 I think it's a cookie based link, otherwise I believe if they want just the code it's KYLIE211 :) Good luck with your application! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

Hi Kylie! Thank you for your videos! I love to apply on Cambly kids. Are they hiring right now? Thank you in advance.

[@Betweenengland]

Hello! Thank you for the message! Yes I believe they are still hiring! Here’s my referral link to start the application if you were thinking about it! :) www.cambly.com/invite/KYLIE213?st=101921&sc=4

[@rosettel]

@@Betweenengland Hi Kylie, you are so kind! I was wondering when it comes the time to do the “demo lesson” and hit “record video”, do we see ourselves in the video while recording the lesson? Thank you very much in advance :)

[@Betweenengland]

@@rosettel yes you can see yourself in the video :) I was unable to watch mine back though..it was just a black window, but I knew I was ‘happy’ with it. You can re-recorded it but just keep in mind that you may not be able to watch it back!

Hello. I just submitted my cambly and cambly kids application on May 5 and 7. I think I did ok on my intro videos and my demo video, but I am still anxious whether cambly is going to accept my application or not. Do you have any advice while I wait for the results? In your experience how long was the wait time till your application got approved? Thanks

[@Betweenengland]

Hello! I applied almost 1yr ago, I submitted my application at 6pm and I received the welcome email while I was asleep! They do work on a supply and demand basis so every tutor can get a decent amount of calls. I applied in the height of the virus when students were turning to online learning as the schools were all shut. The last few weeks have been Ramadan so there have been less students available or they are taking breaks, which may mean they are not accepting new tutors right now. Do you have a TEFL certificate? It’s not required but it can be something that can help boost your profile :)

[@jacolyn12]

@@Betweenengland I do have a TESOL certificate

[@jacolyn12]

@@Betweenengland Would you suggest I still wait and hope that Cambly sees my profile?

[@Betweenengland]

@@jacolyn12 perfect! In that case I'd just wait until Ramadan has finished and then hopefully they'll have more students on board again :)

[@nomzamokazulu1863]

Hello, can I do a demo for adults?

[@Betweenengland]

You don't need one for the adult side! It just goes off your written application and intro video. It's more free talk on the adult side so you don't need to demonstrate teaching a lesson :)
