r/Cambly

So, I've been back on Cambly for nearly three months now and I haven't seen an increase or decrease in my rating even after 250 classes. Does anyone know if returning tutors get treated the same as New talents, and that the actual rating will be reflected after the 3-ish month mark? I'd really like to be able to see weekday PH availability again.

I have a student on CK that just wants to talk about pokemon. Ive exhausted every video, quiz, worksheet and book online related to pokemon. We have lessons twice a week. Im worried the parents will complain as half the time we just look at pictures of pokemon. Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do to teach the student that involves pokemon in some way?

I was asked by a very friendly student if I would be okay with him posting a few if our lessons on YouTube. I said yes as he was trying to get his channel off the ground. This was a few years ago. I was just looking back at the video and it brought a smile to my face. Have you ever found your lessons on social media? Was it a good or bad experience?

I received the email that I was accepted to Cambly Pro on 6/4 but haven't got the option to activate my pro account.

Has anyone received the option to activate your Pro account after receiving the acceptance email?

Can I do the connection test on my phone? because right now I don't have a laptop. Please help me with that

We had almost 100 lessons together. It wasn't a decision that I took lightly, but it had to be done.

Over the last couple of months, I've noticed a gradual change in our dynamic where he has become more argumentative with me and doesn't listen to me. I'm not sure what happened because it wasn't like this before.

He is studying for the PTE Academic exam for university admissions and the pressure of the upcoming test might be stressing him out and causing him to lash out. That's my theory, but I don't know for sure.

Anyway, I realized it is only getting worse the past few weeks and I decided to call it a day. Immediately after I cancelled all our lessons together, I felt a huge wave of relief. I was getting increasingly frustrated and it just wasn't worth it anymore.

Protect your peace, fellow tutors. It can be hard to sever a long-term client relationship, but sometimes it must be done.

Need some advice. I’ve been working with a student for about two years. She’s told me whenever she’s tried a new tutor because I’m away, she’s had a bad experience.

Her reading comprehension is quite good but speaking, vocab and grammar are severely lacking. She now wants me to prep her for ielts, but I only prep Cambridge.

She’s super sweet and we’ve built a friendship, but classes have become tedious because she wants to do the ielts speaking intensive course now and she just doesn’t have the level for it. I've told her that, but she still wants to do those lessons. Before we’d just do chats and that was fine, but the last two weeks have been a drain.

What would you do?

There's a regular student I've been teaching for around two years now, always this morning at the same hour. Cambly is only a small fraction of my income, so I don't have my schedule open, instead she sends me a message every week and asks me to schedule it for her, which I always do (and did so this week as well). But today when I woke up for the class, the class was just gone. The weird thing is that it was still scheduled last night, so if it was canceled, I should've received the $2 credit, but that didn't happen. Furthermore, I can't find her in my inbox at all. It's as if we've never exchanged messages, even though we do so once a week in order to schedule our class. And if I find her profile (by going back to previous weeks) and send her a message, it still doesn't appear in my inbox.

Has anybody run into this situation before? I mean, it looks like I might've been blocked, but that would make no sense at all (unless there's something going on behind the scenes that I have no idea about) as we have never had any kind of issue in any of our classes over the last two years and she literally sent me a message to schedule this class a few days ago as she always does. Is it possible her profile was banned?

Honestly, if this is the case, then it wouldn't be a bad thing for me at all; she's the only reason I even work on Saturday anymore. It's just that I've been teaching her for a long time and am really curious as to what happened!

Two weeks ago my rating dropped from 97.5 to 97.0. I posted about it in this thread. I haven’t taught much PH, only about three hours a week on weekends; the rest of my lessons are with regulars, and I have a good relationship with them. Today my rating dropped again to 96.5 in two weeks and I have only done about 14 lessons since then with mostly regulars. WTF, I thought it was supposed to be based on the last 200 calls. This is bullshit. Something doesn’t add up. Has anyone else’s rating tanked recently?

So far today I've had one 45min pro and two 30min pro lessons cancelled last minute. So almost $20 gone just like that. Can anyone top that?
