May the Lord keep using you, even teaching online 😊🙏❤️

This was very informative thank you, it's always good to know the pros and cons.

[@teachingwithkia1226]

Thank you so much for watching! Glad you found it helpful! ☺️

Another nice vid keep it up

[@oscarduran1230]

I am so happy, I already have a new Gmail Kia, so hopefully, I will register between Wednesday or Thursday of next week with Cambly because I'm still waiting for the answer from Preply between Monday-Tuesday of next week.

[@shaunababalola2301]

Thanks for sharing. I teach on Cambly (adults). I did my demo video for Cambly Kids yesterday and they quickly denied me. I will be applying for other ESL platforms soon.

[@teachingwithkia1226]

Email me if you’d like to look into other companies ☺️

[@JaikeDell]

Thank you for your videos. May I ask on scheduled class. Do you get the lesson aheqd of time for preparation?

[@oscarduran1230]

I just finished sending the whole information 3 videos. One for adults and two for kids I also added again my whole information what shocked me is that I didn't receive an e-mail back letting me know that my information was sent ok and to be honest I spend a lot of money with children supplies to add into the demo class with Cambly.

[@bdunknown]

Of all these similar videos, nobody talks about what it's like teaching kids.. That is what I want to know. I have been teaching adults on Cambly for 3 years. I am curious about the change.

[@rig.1]

Same. I've grown a lil tired of serious convos🤣 I'd like to play with the kids now 😅

[@oscarduran1230]

Kia good afternoon. Question: I send an email to Lori K from Cambly asking her if I was able to try to register again to Cambly and she replied to me with an answer. Lori K (Cambly Tutors) May 18, 2021, 11:02 UTC Hello, You are welcome to re-apply using a different email address in 3 months. Thanks, Lori. My question to you Kia is why do I have to wait for 3 months to go by until I register again and not only wait for 1 month?

[@oscarduran1230]

Good afternoon Kia I changed the introduction video on the new Gmail hopefully I will get a much sooner reply from Cambly. On that Gmail about 18 days ago I received this message "Thank you for signing up to tutor on Cambly, we are delighted to have you! Your account is now under review; you will receive an email upon account activation. At that point, you may return to this page and start teaching right away!" so hopefully Cambly will see the new introduction video and will reply to me sooner.

[@carllane6521]

I just got the TESOL certification but am I missing something? Are you actually supporting yourself making 13 or 14 dollars an hour?

[@moniquebell2102]

Can you see the lessons before you start the class? I feel like if i can see the lesson before, then I can better prepare. Just in case i have to extend the lesson.

[@teachingwithkia1226]

Hi Monique! Yes you can preview Cambly Kids lessons ☺️. Once you have a reservation, click on the students name in the calendar then you will be able to see the lesson.

[@claudineb777]

I started this week with Cambly adults. I am not approved yet to reach children. My second call from my priority hour was an 11 year old girl from Saudi Arabia who used her father’s account. I was surprised and not prepared but I did my best to teach her a few things. I saw on my schedule that her father’s account has booked a 30 minute appointment with me during my priority hour. I wonder if it will be her again. Should I send a message saying that I am looking forward to see her again and send the link for the Cambly kids if they do not know it?

[@teachingwithkia1226]

I believe it’s up to you. I’ve heard of some tutors receiving kids during priority hours. I would recommend Cambly Kids to them. Maybe you could try emailing Cambly to let them know you’re really interested in teaching kids and that may help with your application ☺️

[@deborahgibson8582]

Kia: How do you "answer the phone" when someone "calls you" on Cambly? Is there somewhere you click, and do you talk via the video camera's audio? Thanks !

[@teachingwithkia1226]

Hi Deborah! You will hear a ringtone when you have an incoming call and you just click the button to answer. You would use your headset plugged into your computer to speak to/hear your student

Pros / Cons

[@goswamisulagna8345]

Should I have to pay any amount to Cambly before starting teaching

[@CristobalWatsonHernandez]

"Con - The pay is low at $ 12 USD per hour" Me, living in a third-world country "So I can work three days a week and afford to live in the high-class area"

[@emilyjurgens770]

Having no in-class tech support may be a deal breaker for me. That's ridiculous! They're a big enough company that they should be able to have firemen on stand-by. Very disappointing.

[@teachingwithkia1226]

Hi Emily! I agree! ☺️

[@oscarduran1230]

Good evening Kia. I have been receiving these messages from Cambly lately through my Gmail address and I'm not even active there as an English tutor. I don't understand why Cambly sends me these messages. "Students unable to start Lessons New incident: Monitoring We've seen a spike in students that are unable to create lessons starting @ 4:17pm PT - we've implemented a fix, and things appear to be returning to normal." Why does Cambly send me these messages on my Gmail, I'm not even an English tutor there?

[@teachingwithkia1226]

Hi Oscar! I’m only a tutor with Cambly, I am not a member of their staff 🤷🏽‍♀️. I’m assuming it’s just a general email.

[@oscarduran1230]

@@teachingwithkia1226 I know that you are just a tutor, I only send you the message to let you know that it looks odd since I am not a tutor, but thanks anyway.

[@oscarduran1230]

Good evening Kia I am going to register again with my old e-mail. I also noticed where I am going to add the introduction video just beside it there is also where I can add the introduction for children. The question to you. Is that necessary or I only add the tutor video for adults.

[@teachingwithkia1226]

Hi Oscar! If you’re not interested in applying to Cambly Kids then you won’t need to make a video. Just make your profile video for adults ☺️

[@teachingwithkia1226]

@@oscarduran1230 maybe I misunderstood your comment lol. If you want to be considered for Cambly Kids then yes, the video and demo are required. In terms of flash cards, you can make your own for now. Use construction paper or printer paper. Print letters on the paper, add color to make it fun. 😊

Good morning Kia because it's already dawn time. Question: When you are teaching children on Cambly do you use PowerPoint the reason I'm asking is because I've seen some videos of teachers using PowerPoint of course not Cambly,. Hope to hear from you soon?

Hello Oscar Duran! No, Cambly does not use/require PowerPoint. Cambly has their own curriculum in their platform ☺️

[@joanajoy7402]

Hello! Just wanted to ask how about if the student just doesn't show up and is absent. Do you get paid for that?

[@teachingwithkia1226]

Hi Joana! You would receive $2.00 as no show pay for waiting 10 min. If the student doesn’t show up in 10 min then you can either log off or not answer if they call.

[@joanajoy7402]

@@teachingwithkia1226 so even if you answer after 10 mins you still take 2$ just if they show up before 10 mins you get fully paid?

[@teachingwithkia1226]

@@joanajoy7402 if you decide to answer after 10 mins (you don’t have to) then you are paid for each minute you teach. I don’t answer because I typically have reservations back to back. So if a student is late, then I won’t get paid for the full 30 mins and it will cause me to have to end early to be on time for my next reservation.

[@DessertArcadia]

Can they provide the payment through Payoneer instead of Paypal?

At the moment, just PayPal
