[@Atropos06]

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.

[@Chinky_and_Papis_World]

@@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?

Please sis can u tell me does cambly hire only native speakers ?? waiting your reply thanks in advance 🌼

[@ESLTeacher365]

There are some fluent non-native speakers working on the platform. You'll want to have a very high quality video and application.

@@ESLTeacher365 thank u so much for the answer well actually i have a degree in English and I’m not a native speaker im from Morocco 🇲🇦 so i guess it depends on the application process to be accepted or not but just remember im asking u about cambly specifically and thanks 😊 a-lot

Yes, Cambly specificially sometimes hires non-native speakers but you will need to have a really good application.@@KarimaSamar

How much does the pay look like?

[@ESLTeacher365]

Pay is currently $10.20 USD an hour for Cambly and $12 USD an hour for Cambly Kids.

[@haroldcampbell3337]

More accurately, it's 17 cents per minute for each minute you actually speak with a student. It's a maximum $10.20 an hour for regular Cambly and $12 an hour for Cambly Kids.

[@user-lq9ph7kx6o]

What about the payment?

[@ESLTeacher365]

You are paid every week via PayPal.

[@syakirahabdhalim]

How much were you paid for one session, Jamie?

[@ESLTeacher365]

Pay is hourly based on how many minutes you teach.

Can a non native English speaker get accepted?

[@ESLTeacher365]

Native speakers are preferred but some non-natives have been hired

[@millier9658]

Cambly pays badly, it’s not just the USD 10.20 I am referring to, they do not pay the full amount for last min cancellations and no shows. You’ll get something like 1.70/ 2 usd max for a no show. If you add all this up, you’ll be getting around 6/7 USD as no shows are very common. I speak from experience, that is very very disappointing.

[@joajoa3069]

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.

@@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 :)

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@1dog915]

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

[@gblockshow]

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

[@ESLTeacher365]

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