Cambly was actually the first online teaching company that I taught for, and it was a nightmare. After 3 months of getting random negative reviews (for which Cambly does not provide context) I was promptly let go one day out of the blue without warning, not two days after I landed a student who signed up for a 6 month period under me. When I replied to the email that they sent to fire me, asking why I had been let go, cricket serenaded me. Please don't recommend this company, it's utter garbage.

@@ESLTeacher365is it okay to edit the intro video? Like minimal editing between sections of the introduction. I noticed a few teachers say it’s okay or they just edit it. I saw one that implied that it’s frowned upon. I find it somewhat unnatural to memorize rather than say sections with a natural manner while glueing them together. Do most people do minimal editing?

Why are lessons only 30 minutes max, starting out? How can I change this?

[@ESLTeacher365]

I like to select "paid users only" during my priority hours. The amount of time the lesson is depends on what the student has purchased. I have taught 15, 30 and 60 minute lessons. Keep teaching until you meet students that take 60 minute lessons and then ask them to be your regular students.

[@ESLTeacher365]

@@joajoa3069 When you are just starting you, schedule priority hours to meet new students. If you meet a student who is a good fit, you can ask them to be a regular student and share your schedule with them. It takes time to build up your schedule so be patient :)

[@ESLTeacher365]

A1 is beginner. Do you mean C1 advanced?

Probably

You are paid every week via PayPal.

[@honeybeejourney]

Just found out that Cambly doesn't take tutors from California!!! So disappointing-Not to mention the time I wasted watching numerous videos about their platform!

[@ESLTeacher365]

Yes, unforutnately that's due to a California law related to gig work. A lot of companies won't hire from California for this reason.

[@d1ssolv3r]

You'll find that with most contracting type jobs in Cali. Sorry.

[@VirginiaAyrieVlogs]

Hello, I was hoping to find out what personal information cambly will require? Do they need an address to mail me things because I move around a lot? Thanks so much for the video!

[@ESLTeacher365]

They won't be mailing you anything, but will need to know your location for hiring and payment purposes.

[@VirginiaAyrieVlogs]

@@ESLTeacher365 Oh okay, great. Thank you!

[@naenaeyoga9762]

Cambly does not accept if you live in Massachusetts,usa or california, Usa. Elsewhere its pretty good.

[@ESLTeacher365]

Yes, that is due to legislation in CA and MA.

[@naenaeyoga9762]

Sounds about right

[@ESLTeacher365]

I have a training that you can watch on this. Just look at my Online Teaching Playlist.

[@syakirahabdhalim]

How much were you paid for one session, Jamie?

[@ESLTeacher365]

Pay is hourly based on how many minutes you teach.

[@haroldcampbell3337]

17 cents a minute for every minute you speak with a student

[@GlobalWorldNews1]

❤❤❤

[@datruth66392]

this gig averages out to about five or six dollars an hour!!! that is all folks!

[@ESLTeacher365]

It’s $10.20 or $12 an hour. Yes, the pay is low, but Cambly also doesn’t require a degree or experience which makes it a good option for new teachers. It’s not sustainable long term of course!

[@discoveringtruenorth55]

Can you teach from an IPad? Thank you.

[@ESLTeacher365]

No, a computer is required for Cambly.

[@melvinkeyz4320]

Please how long does it take for Cambly to reply? My application status still says under review. I applied the second week in May.

[@ESLTeacher365]

If you haven’t heard from them yet, update your application - especially the video:

[@gblockshow]

Unfortunately, if you're in California Cambly won't "hire" you.

[@ESLTeacher365]

That’s because of a gig work law in California.

[@jamesj2762]

Hi ma'am. I want to ask you a question because you have already taken classes on cambly. On the price page, seeing 3days per week and so on, if I take 3days per week of classes for 3 months, then I will get 36 classes in 3 months(if every month contains 4 weeks). Please share your experience. Thank you.

[@ESLTeacher365]

Hi! I don’t take classes on Cambly, I teach them. I’m not sure how pricing works for students, so I recommend checking out their website for a support email address.

[@haroldcampbell3337]

Your English comprehension apparently needs some work.

[@Mark-fh5lp]

Does it pay well? Is it worth it?

[@ESLTeacher365]

Does it pay well? No. Cambly is a great place to get started teaching online because it doesn’t require a degree or experience. However, if you want to do this full-time you will need to add on other companies or freelance. Is it worth it? For beginners who need experience, yes.

[@mariamkadhimm]

What about non-native?

[@ESLTeacher365]

The official website says you need to be a native English speaker over 18.
