Get Paid to Chat - Cambly Tutor Job! (Is It Worth It?)

As a Community Tutor no degree no experience it's really hard for Cambly to ever even say if you're approved or not, also if they have opening at that time, I still check my profile every few weeks or once a month but it's been more than a year with no answers, now I even have 1+ years of teaching as Community Tutor which has been on Italki. Italki I think is next best for Community Tutors, but same thing Italki needs to have openings, but at least when they do it's easier to get approved. For the most part Cambly looks for Professional Tutors

[@EarnWithMike]

Thank you for sharing your experience. One of the reasons might the number of applicants who wants to be a tutor as well.

[@certifiedskateboards]

@@EarnWithMike yupp since Cambly is the most popular they can be the hardest to get approved

[@EarnWithMike]

Hope you'll get accepted soon!

[@certifiedskateboards]

@@EarnWithMike Thanks!

[@relaxationdaily]

Cambly isn't even minimum wage so to make a full time income (3k or more per month) is nearly impossible with something like this. However, it pays way better than a lot of shitty GPT sites and you can definitely earn a nice part time income to help pay for some of the bills and expenses.

[@EarnWithMike]

Thanks for sharing your opinion. You are right that it is not an easy way to earn but there is no easy way to get a full-time income, unfortunately:-)

[@carlaosei-appiahene9218]

Thanks for the Cambly review! I find your videos to be very helpful. I will add my personal experience to this discussion in case someone finds it useful. This is a very long comment. I have been working on Cambly for over a year now. It actually took them 10 MONTHS to approve my profile! I had actually given up on them and was focusing on other projects. However, when I got the approval email I was excited and nervous. I will tell you now that Cambly has been amazing for me. I see it as a Godsend for my circumstances. I work on the adult platform (10.20/hour) NOT Cambly Kids ($12/hour). True, that is not much money but for me it is worth it. I live in Belize (originally from the U.S.) and the money doubles here, so I end up with $20.40/hour. But even if you live in a more developed country like the US or Canada it could be worth your time if you enjoy talking to people. This is an easy way to make a little extra and quick money. I know several people in the US who do it only on the weekends when they need extra spending money. I was initially nervous because I was unsure what to expect. I'm not a teacher, I do not have an English degree (although I did complete a B.S. at university), and I'm not great with technology. There was no need for nerves. Cambly made it super easy for me! As a new Tutor they will direct students to you and promote your profile to give you a good start. There is no lesson planning because Cambly provides all materials. They are very simple and easy to follow. Personally, I market my tutoring focus as mainly conversation practice. I love talking to people from all over the world and I've had AMAZING conversations. The students are so grateful to have a polite and engaged tutor to talk with so that they can practice their English. I've NEVER lacked for students. I even have to turn students away sometimes because there are more students than hours that I am willing to work. I work as much or as little as I want. I make my own schedule. When I want time off I take it and when I'm ready to start working again I do. I usually work 20 hours/week. I've worked 30 hours/week at most and have worked 7 hours/week at the least (it just depends on how I feel). However, to avoid confusion I stay fairly consistent with the hours that I choose because I want my students to know that they can depend on my posted schedule. I've read accounts of some tutors working 40-50 hours/week. (Not for me but if that's you then more power to you!) Also, If you prefer not to have a schedule then Cambly is set up to be a "login and chat" platform. I do make use of this feature as well. A degree/certificate is not needed. If you are polite and engaged in the lesson, and you speak English fluently (native level), then you have met the minimum requirements. They pay via paypal, as well as ACH (direct deposit, which is the method that I use). So simple, so enjoyable, very rewarding, IF, you enjoy this type of work, and it is work. If you are interested, give it a try. It probably is not worth it for everyone because individual circumstances vary. There are also other platforms similar to Camby that may be easier to access, and that pay a lot more, but they have more stringent requirements. You can research these as well. I hope this was useful! All the best!

[@EarnWithMike]

Thank you for sharing you experience as well as some tips. These would definitely help others who are considering in joining Cambly.

[@ridwansalifu6987]

I just finished applying tonight and wanted to check out reviews about the platform. Thank God I stumbled on your comment- I will not look further than Cambly. I'm a Ghanaian and earning 10.00 /hr is more than enough for me.

How is Cambly able to operate out of California and not pay the minimum wage of California which is 15.5 USD/hr?

[@EarnWithMike]

I've read somewhere that there has been issues regarding tutors who lives in California when they passed the new laws for freelancers.

[@MarineMariaz]

Good video but Cambly is not good one if you are really looking to pay bills lol. :D I tried It in 2020. And in my experience they accept you even if you are not from English speaking country like me. You just have to have fluent/native level English.

[@EarnWithMike]

Thank you for sharing your experience in using Cambly.

[@hedieh1492]

What about the address and other info? Wouldn't they check them and realise you're not from those countries?

[@hedieh1492]

How long did it take you to get accepted?

[@Dekoherence-ii8pw]

You say you have to be a native speaker, but you do Cambly yourself right? I'd say you're "fluent" rather than a native speaker - just because you have an accent. So, is it ok then for someone who is fluent in English as a second language?

[@EarnWithMike]

Cambly only tends to hire native speakers of English.

[@kennethag2381]

Is the website only for learning English? If so, would you know of any similar plattforms for people to learn other lanuages (spec. Spanish)?

[@EarnWithMike]

You can be a tutor as a freelancer. You can check freelance websites if they need a tutor for Spanish or other languages you know. I have a list of best freelance websites here: paidfromsurveys.com/best-freelance-sites

Hello, nice video btw. Im chilean and im looking for a way to gain some income (not a lot) and thought this may be a good idea, so I think im gonna aply. Do you need to speak the languague of the people you are teaching? And, does the website provide you with some lessons or you have to make your own classes?

[@EarnWithMike]

Cambly only tends to hire native speakers of English. So if you're not a native English speaker, I recommend you look for other options.

[@KarimaSamar]

Sorry but i’ve just asked a youtuber about cambly and she told me that they hire non native speakers too and they work with her on cambly but she told me that the application should be very good and a very high level of English?! And that was my question: do they hire non native speakers!? Now im confused after watching ur video

[@EarnWithMike]

If your English is truly on a native speaking level, you should be able to join no matter where you live, as far as I know.

[@KarimaSamar]

@@EarnWithMike thank u

[@KarimaSamar]

@@EarnWithMikealso if it happens and kick someone out do they hire him/ her again or never i mean in the same platform (cambly ) 4 example??

[@EarnWithMike]

I think it will depend on the consequences and what's the reason they kick someone out. Maybe it can be discussed with their support if that happens.

[@sagnikpattanayak1713]

I Am from india. Will It be worth to apply as you said its for native english speakers?

[@EarnWithMike]

If you're not a native English speaker it is not worth it.

[@haroldcampbell3337]

Nor if your English is as bad as most Indians', especially the pronunciation.

[@Dekoherence-ii8pw]

Why don't you try it? Does India count as "native speaker" of English? Arguably yes. If you're someone who has done much of your education in the English language, as I know is the case for quite a lot of people in India.

[@Dekoherence-ii8pw]

In another question, Mike is asked how come HE gets to do Cambly, since he's not a native speaker himself. He says basically that he's as fluent a native speaker so it's ok.

[@Hasantotalculturalvictory]

How did you get on as a non native speaker?

I don't think you can choose who to work with but you can set it up in your tutor Bio that you want to work with Spanish people who wants to learn. But I think this would limit the number of students who would choose you.

[@EarnWithMike]

Thank you for sharing your experience. But Cambly is a legit site as long as you're a native English speaker. You may need to contact their support about this if they are taking too long to assess if you qualify.

[@cutecookiez87]

It took me x2 months to become approved but I just started today and they r really good!

[@teachertybey5892]

5 years working with Cambly. I coupled it with VIPKID back in the day. I'm not sure why your application is still under review. However, I would look elsewhere if it is taking soooo long for you. If you feel it is worth it, then send some emails to them regarding what is needed to pass the application step. As of now, I am on another platform in addition to Cambly. Always have more than one way of earning money especially working from home and being online. Your choice. Research more online teaching platforms. Good luck to you lovie.
