After 3 years this is still so relevant and you're super cute. Thanks for the upload. I've been getting kids in my adult class. Parents peep their heads in my class and are asking me if I teach kids. So, now after a number of kid pop-ins on my adult platform, I decided to give Cambly Kids a try. Love your energy.

[@tenealgratz4276]

I absolutely love watching your videos! I’m new to the teaching online world and I am super excited to start! I will be applying to Cambly today and your video has been super helpful! Thank you!

@@TeacherKelly I only saw your response now and I have just finished applying. Funny thing happened though. I saw there was a demo lesson option after the introduction videos and then as soon as I uploaded my introduction for the kids it automatically said, “thank you, you account is under review” so I’m not too sure now what to do, because I would love to finish the kids application.

[@TeacherKelly]

@@tenealgratz4276 Hi! No problem. And don't stress, that happens sometimes. You can apply to the kids program once accepted to Cambly overall.

Hi Kelly. I came across your video and I have to say ..... AMAZING job! Thank you for all your tips!

[@kiddorot3848]

IF YOU ONLY HAVE A PHONE TO RECORD ON, THAT'S GREAT!! Just make sure you film horizontally. I filmed on my phone and got accepted. I'm a teacher on Cambly, but I'm now working on my video for Cambly kids, and really appreciate this video, just disagreed with the phone comment.

Hello. If you are working with so many online platforms how do you manage your calendar? Double bookings etc.?

[@TeacherKelly]

Hi! I teach for 4-6 companies any given week, so am never juggling all at once. I have my 'fixed hour' companies that are set, and then I arrange others around those. I never double-book myself, as I don't want the stress of that. I am super organized, using a planner on my ipad. I like variety and being busy, so it works for me. 😊

[@patriciabaxes5844]

You’re so amazing! Thanks for sharing all this great information! Any tips for Cambly Adults?

[@TeacherKelly]

No problem. 😊 For adults, I use the same format. Still smiling, friendly, welcoming. But I don't use props or a lot of TPR for adults.

Hallo Kelly, I would like to know how you keep the reflection of the light off your glasses?

[@TeacherKelly]

Hi! I sit far enough back from the computer, and use overhead lights rather than ones in front of me. (If I teach in different places or with different lighting, I do still get some glare.)

[@tangosunshine7299]

Hey Kelly. So I’m completely new to esl teaching. I don’t have a BA or a tefl/tesol certificate. Basically I just want to try out Cambly before deciding to get a tefl so I can see if I like it first. So two questions, 1. Do you think I could pass the interview process without any real education (my highest education is a ged) and 2. Can I update my intro video later on after I’ve acquired a certificate or if I decide to go to college? Thank you!

[@TeacherKelly]

Hi! Thanks for connecting. 😊 1. Honestly, it is hard to say. While Cambly has no strict requirements, they are still quite selective (as they hire according to what students want). In the absence of qualifications or experience, you would need to blow them away with your intro video(s) and profile. (Definitely doable!) 2. Your intro videos can be updated later as needed.

[@simranrathi7514]

Do they accept Indian tutors? Both my school level and higher educations(bachelors & masters) have been pursued in English.

Hi Teacher Kelly, can I edit my intro videos to make it more fun? Like adding some stickers, templates and such? Or a video without edit, just using some props?

[@TeacherKelly]

You definitely can. There are no specifications or requirements in terms of editting. I don't recommend going too crazy with it though. It is the content that will get you hired, not your editting skills.

Hi! That is awesome! Application processing times can vary greatly. Cambly only hires according to demand in terms of number of teachers they need and their student needs. Some are accepted in days, others longer.

Can you insert slides/screenshare in your video? I am a great teacher, but video production and editing are not my forte.

It isn't my area either haha! But I do it occasionally for youtube videos. For the Cambly videos, it really isn't needed to have the slides showing.

Hello Kelly. So glad I found your channel. I have a question about the intro videos. Can these be made before starting the application process so that I can simply upload them? Enjoy your videos. You share lots of great information. Thanks!

[@TeacherKelly]

Thank you so much for your support! Honestly, I always try to make my intro videos specific for a company. Often, companies will give specific instructions in terms of length and content, so it isn't a one-size-fits-all thing.

[@eslclassonline]

@@TeacherKelly Thanks for your quick reply. I plan to apply to Cambly today or tomorrow and was not sure if I could upload the videos that I made for them yesterday (one for adults and one for kids) or would it have to be done live at the time of the application. I appreciate your help. Again, thanks for the great channel. Your content is amazing and very helpful.

Hi teacher Kelly .if I do a one on one with you does this guarantee me getting employed?

[@TeacherKelly]

Hi! One on one coaching can be helpful with many things (finding companies, preparing applications, resumes, intro videos, demo prep), but it doesn't 'guarantee' employment. Getting the job is ultimately up to you and your skills. I can only prepare you for doing well.

Hi teacher Kelly the site says I need a referral code what code do I use?

Cambly does not use referral codes for tutors, only links. 😊

Is 27 seconds too short?

There is no lower limit. But remember this is your chance to sell yourself. If you feel like you've done that in 27 seconds, that's fine. If not, I'd try to see what you could add.

But if the students can't speak English, how are they going to understand your intro video 🤔😅

[@TeacherKelly]

Well, for one, children aren't usually picking their own teacher. Parents are and those parents often speak at least some English. Many companies often provide some form of translation as well. 🙃

[@blackboss63737]

@@TeacherKelly I doubt that parents can speak English, because they would then teach there own children. 🤔

[@TeacherKelly]

@@blackboss63737 As I am sure you are aware, just because someone CAN do something, doesn't mean they can teach it. (And even if they can teach it, most do not have the time to do so.) Secondly, many parents are paying for these classes so that their child gets exposure to fluent speakers with different accents. It isn't just about cramming a kids head full of vocab and grammar rules. They often get that at school.
