I no longer have an open schedule on Cambly but some students are still messaging me asking for classes. Will Cambly eventually delete my profile? I haven't found the option to delete my own profile myself!

I've been working for another teaching platform for the past 7 months. And I've even messaged all my Chinese students on Cambly telling them where they can find me on the other platform I am now working on full time.

What's the procedure when a teacher closes their teaching schedule completely? How can I delete my profile?

Absolutely choca!!! 7hrs PH a day maxed out all week, first time in ages. Anyone else?

I’ve made plenty of posts complaining about Cambly, especially about wanting to become a Pro tutor for the pay increase to $15hr. I was accepted back in June but here we are in August and I still can’t activate Pro. At this point, I’ve pretty much given up and feel like it was just another way to string tutors along and quiet some of the complaints.

But now I’m wondering about something bigger: How much longer can Cambly survive?

As much as I complain, that extra beer money has definitely helped me out over the years. But today I went five straight hours on PHs without receiving a single call. That’s something I never thought I’d see.

Are things really this bad with Cambly right now? Are other tutors experiencing the same thing?

Heck, now I almost feel bad for wanting that extra $5hr. 😂

Instead of ongoing discounts, Cambly should've looked for ways to get tutors to retain students and have those loyal students promote them (basically focus the NPS metric). Or trial lessons with bonuses for tutors when a new student signs up. The leaders at Cambly really need to get their stuff together!!

"Teacher, in 3mins can you teach my son foe the IELTS Test?

-How old is your son?

Teacher, he's 9yrs old but his English is pretty good!

2mins ejector seat utilised. Ffs

"OK Little Tommy, describe a situation where you had to overxome a difficult challenge, you should say...."

P3. Why do most children ask help from others when facing a challenge?

Why do people often choose to face a challenge alone rather than ask others for help?

Little Tommy from Taiwan... enlighten me.

Hello I’m looking for a tutor for the ASVAB. I scored a 21 and i need a 40 or 50. Please help!!!!!!!

Had a student hangup mid-class today. Can anyone please share ESL tools/lesson materials you actually pay for? I’m tired of looking unprofessional in the classroom lol.

I received two 30 minute reservations from two separate accounts with different names back-to-back (ex: Bob at 8:30 and Jim at 9:00, both from Brazil) for the next three weeks at the same exact time. They're recently new to Cambly.

I canceled both for tomorrow (within 12 hour notice) because something came up and they immediately rescheduled for my next open availability.

I'm not sure why but it gave me a bad feeling so I canceled the rescheduled classes as well as the upcoming ones. Maybe I'm just paranoid after meeting too many weirdos on Cambly but idk, something gave me a bad feeling like it was only one person using two separate accounts, or maybe a parent trying to throw 2 kids at me (I'm on regular Cambly.)

Has anything similar happened you to guys? Any weird feelings about students before you've actually met them? On Cambly we simply don't get paid enough so for me I'd always rather be safe than sorry.

I know posters are saying Cambly is on a hiring freeze, but I plan to apply anyway. I have no teacher experience in English, but I'm a native speaker, I've had creative writing stories published, and I have a degree in communications so I think I can handle day to day conversational English. Am I being naive in thinking this? If I were to get hired, how does an actual lesson work? Do you just start talking with the student and correct them with their pronunciation along the way or are there set lesson plans that Cambly has that you access prior to a lesson to familiarize yourself with before going live with the student? Could someone please walk me through a lesson start to finish? Thanks!

Good morning everyone.

I recently applied on Cambly and profile is still under review. How long does it take to find out if you approved or not and also do you get an email that regarding the account or not
