I love your videos very much as well as the conversational side of you! I've been watching these for several months now and they have been a lifesaver in navigating Cambly Kids and the online ESL world in general. You're one of my top three favorite online teaching RUclips personalities. :) Thank you.
LOL! Love you! I came here to find your referral code for Cambly cuz... I'm about to hit "submit" and it would be rude not to give you credit. Thanks for sharing your experiences and advice!
I passed the demo but when I read the contract and decided not to sign because the part about how they own EVERYTHING that I publish, invent, patent, or create while under contract (even the stuff that's completely unrelated to Cambly and done in my free time) that's insane! No way...
@@thesincitymama done in your free time? 👀 I read my Contract and that little tid bit wasn’t in there but everything else, yes. That’s why they can use our videos for whatever and they let the clients use them too. That’ is indeed one draw back. I should. Do another video highlighting that part.
Do you know that feeling when you see somebody and their energy just makes you be like LOOK STRANGER I LOVE YOU lol. Your energy gave me that feeling. :D
You have no idea how greatful I am for your videos. I only have two years of college since I didnt finish my English degree. Thanks to your video I found out about Cambly and today I applied and praying they approve me because Lord knows I need a job. Thank you for been transparent and sharing all the information. 👏
Any update? Did they hire you? I'm in a similar situation. Didn't graduate...but did 3 years as Secondary Education/English major in college. I have a TESOL certificate. I have 6 years of volunteer teaching experience . Applied but no response yet and it's been a week. I'm stressing now, because I really need the money 😟
thank you for your wonderful videos of information! I came across them yesterday after completing the application process with Cambly. I wish i had come across them before so i could use your code and give you any credit you might get. Once i hear back, i will see if i can still add it. You're the bomb! I love your energy, enthusiasm and sense of humor. Have an awesome day! Isa
You are SOOOOOOOOOO funny!!! I love the explanations you give us on ALL of your videos! Thank you so much for all of your advice and help. How beautiful you are and that you're helping the rest of us!!
@@AllStarMissy15 it's in my comment a week or so didn't take long. But right now they are not taking any new tutors due to all that's going on right now but you can still try.
@@dmusicaldaisy How would you suggest to word this as experience? My son was non verbal until age 5. I had to constantly find ways to communicate with him in a way he understood. Most of the speech therapy was from me. He's now 13 and won't shut up
I just want to say thanks so much because your link still works and I got the class for cheaper than was originally advertised which was only 19 dollars but still that was great
Part of the reason why I applied to Cambly was because of this video. Unfortunately, after two months of having my application under review, I was finally notified that my profile had been rejected (this was after I sent a message asking them if they were interested in my profile). Anyway, thanks for all of the positive and down-to-earth videos. :)
Connor Nitz oh man! It’s probably due to so many people applying. This year they’ve had more applicants than normal, naturally given the circumstances. I pray you great fortune. Perhaps in a few months if you’re still interested you could reapply. Much love to you!
Hi Connor. The same thing happened to me. I heard nothing so I contacted them and they told me I wasn't accepted but they couldn't tell me why. She did recommend I reapply in three month's time from a different email address! I've just gone on my Cambly account and noticed my application status has changed to 'under review' and that's it as initially there was a whole paragraph on how they'll get back to me etc. So now I have no idea if this means they are re-reviewing my application or not .. I think I'll wait a week and if nothing, I will reapply with a totally different email address. Have you re-applied yet?
@@deliciouslyme6206 Hello! No, I haven't reapplied. It's been nearly a year since I originally applied. I have a feeling they were flooded with a lot of applications due to people losing jobs and wanting to work from home. I might reapply at a later date. :)
Hello! I'm a new member of ur "clan" 🤣 I'm interested to be a tutor at Cambly. For now, I'm dooing my research about Cambly. That's when I found your channel. I will apply once my laptop's camera is fixed. BTW, I am Filipino just got here in NY last October to be with my husband 🥰
Thank you, Goddess! I just started last week. I watched your video and it helped immensely. Your frankness and personality are entertaining. Can you share what software you used to record your Cambly session?
Dear LaShundra, I can't thank you enough for training aspiring tutors on applying for a job at Cambly! Could you throw some light on the possible reasons why Cambly would reject a tutor's application?
Ninad Bhatkar 👋🏾 sorry for the delay. I hadn’t seen this question. The most popular reasons a tutor could be rejected: If they think the tutor doesn’t have good screen presence, the video background or environment was not ideal or professional, the video quality was poor, or the tutor has a thick or very noticeable accent that is undesirable to most clients. Other than that it could just be that they don’t need tutors at the moment. Currently they are not hiring due to a hiring freeze.
How did you know that they rejected you? Did they send you an email saying that they rejected you? I just send mine 3 days ago and I don't know when I'll hear fron them.
Well,,,, my young friend got rejected from Cambly. ☹️. She had worked for them before, but they let her go because of her age. They told her to try again when she turned 18. So she did. But only to not get hired. They said they were not currently hiring. She was so sad. So I encouraged her to try Palfish. We shall see what happens! I do enjoy working for Cambly! Looking forward to hearing about your new gogo kid!
Hello, teacher Lushandra. I got inspired to apply to Cambly because of you. I hope I'll pass the Cambly recruitment process. I'm using your referral code. Thank you so much, teacher Lala.
hello LaShundra , Great video ! I applied to be an esl teacher through Cambly, don't know yet if Im on their list of tutors...any help you can give me? thx!!
Hi! I would like to apply to Cambly, but I m very intimidated by the fact that I have to make a video of myself, I have no problem in teaching, is the presentation video that gives me a bit of anxiety. Would you like to help me?
Thank you for this I tried applying like twice and they rejected me I was starting to think it had to do from where I come from. I am going to try this step by step and report back to you. Hopefully this works even better through your referral. Thanks again much love
Thank you for making this video! I really enjoyed your part about the rating system. Unlike the other teaching platforms, you really can't know who sent the negative ratings nor can you dispute them. This is a negative side of Cambly. The rating system is such an enigma, that if you had any additional insight (like how it influences your priority), I think that would be a great video!
Hi LaShundra Wigdall I love listening to your videos, you are a natural and have a great sense of humour. I've sent my application ten days ago and haven't had a reply 😕 I really want to tutor on Cambly for I identify myself with the tutoring method...
Cambly hires by supply and demand. If they have a good number of active tutors to handle to flow of consistent call averages, they will halt hiring so it's not over saturated. For some it is taking some time to get hired. I do hope they get to your application soon! Don't give up. Thanks for the love!
Question, what kind of computer or laptop do you need teaching online. I read that chromebooks are not good. What about a notebook that runs windows 10? Any advice on laptops would be appreciated. Thank you. 🙏🏼
Hello LaShundra, I'm so happy you shared your sister's experience and yours as well. I'm trying to do something simple but.. I'm not sure what's going on...where exactly do I go to upload my photo for my profile? When I click the little picture box I'm not getting anything.. Hmmm...:-/
Hi there, I am a 52 yr old South African woman very keen to become a tutor, ( had started to fill in the application, and I can't seem to get back there, so as to complete the rest of the questions? I have already submitted bank details successfully but I can't find the other questions I need to fill in. ' Also when clicking on technical setup, it takes me to the instructions? I have been trying the whole day, unfortunately, I don't know anyone who is a tutor, that I can maybe get some computer help. I have learned alot about computers over the last decade, but I'm stumped trying to apply. I have watched a lot of your videos and appreciate your advice. PLEASE help.
I have a question if you applied to a few ESL online companies and got hired by all how do you manage that on your schedule? Do you work for all of them? I'd like to focus on one. Palfish looks like it's a real intensive social media driver, you have to post updates and really drive yourself to get students?
Hi, I'm a non native speaker, from Nigeria, I want to know if I can apply to teach English on Cambly cause am a stay at home mum of two children and I want to make some money to support myself and my children.
Hi thanks for the video it is useful but i have applied for over and over and over but at every time i didn't get hired i think that because i am no native English speaker but i think my English it is good enough to teach it besides i have English certificate do you have any idea do you think they did not accept me because i a m not native thank you so much and sorry about this long comment take care
Hi, i really need your help. I log out and i was trying to log in again as a tutor but it always take me to a student website 😔 and i can’t log in again. Please get back to me. Thank you
This is happening to me as well. I've filled everything out but it either takes me to student page or back to start of application when I try to click submit. Maybe they are not currently hiring?
Hi Lashundra please could you do a video on how it works getting students, do you just wait? Do they book you, how long does it take before you are taking calls one after the other? Thanks. Or if you have done a video covering that already please could someone link it🙈
Palfish rejected my application a few minutes after applying. 😟 Cambly will be the next ESL company that I apply to, but I am delaying the process, lol. I am a retired ex-academic, so having Palfish decline my application was quite a disappointment and really bruised my ego. 🥴 Thank you for the information in your video.
@@yasmineelmtabii7625 I’ve really enjoyed Cambly. I work just a few hours a week, as this is mostly something I may do more during retirement, which will be some time over the next 3 years.
Such a helpful video! Is there a way I can contact cambly about my application I made a few months ago? Or do they get in contact if you have been accepted or not?
Hi again LaShundra! For my Cambly video should I use some TPR or not? I am not looking to attract children particularly but I do want to show that I'm trained in it if that would make a difference in getting accepted. Also, is now a good time to do an application, in terms of current demand? Or is there a better time coming up when there might be more need for tutors, and when I would have more chance of being accepted?
Thank you so much for sharing. I have been trying to apply but my profile page appears blank. I cleared my cache and restarted my laptop multiple of times. Do you have any idea what could be the problem?
Hey Lala🤗, thanks for this video. It was so helpful in pushing me to try it. I’m just seeing there was a hiring freeze and I applied about 2 weeks ago. Do you think I’ve got a chance? Plus how long does it take to get a response? Thanks a lot
Hi.I did not know how to reach you except for here. So I finally got the courage to sign up and do the video..I got a response back saying that my dtess code was wrong .Now I have been teaching for over 15 years and I wore a smart collar dress shirt.So now I am very confused as if the dress shirt is not acceptable what is it they want? I need to get work so this is stressing me now.
Hi LaShundra, what are the IT requirements for Cambly? Do they require minimum download and upload speeds and do they need you to be plugged in with an ethernet connection? Also, are there minumum computer core generation requirements - like i5 4th generation etc.? Thanks.
They don't have a lot of requirements. They just ask that you have decent lighting and your internet speed is fast enough to have a stable connection over their system. They don't have minimum requirements for computers. They ask that you use Google Chrome because that is the best supporting browser and before you tutor you have to undergo a computer and camera test every time. As long as you pass it you are good to go. It doesn't matter if it is Wifi or ethernet
Thank you so much, LaShundra!! I have been bogged down with IT requirements for another platform but now I'm going to set up my fast internet and apply for Cambly to get started. I've watched a lot of your videos and I admire you for your fantastic teaching and tutoring abilities. Thank you for all the help you are giving to applicants. I have opened an application for Cambly using your link but I will first get my fast internet set up, then will do the IT test.
Hello again, LaShun'dra! I have a few more questions before I apply. 1. Do you only have to make one video to apply, the profile one directed at potential Cambly users, like your sister's? Or do you also make an application video directed at the Cambly recruiters? 2. Do you need to upload your resume with your application? Or just your degree and certificates? 3. Have you made any utube videos showing the Cambly platform and how it looks while you are teaching? Like translation boxes or where you see the student's or your face on the Cambly platform - also how you access prepared lessons on Cambly and an example of how to teach them? I'm referring not to Cambly Kids, but the conversational platform. I understand that there might be some copyright involved here, so maybe you aren't allowed to show these things. Just thought I would ask. Thanks!!!! Or - does Cambly allow you to walk through this on their platform only once you have been accepted? My fibre is almost ready and as soon as I have my super-fast internet connection, I'll be applying. I'm doing my best to be fully prepared! Have a great weekend and thank you again for all the help. Much appreciated. :-)
@@terryatkinson5894 The one you apply with is the one that will be put on your profile for public view as well. 2. You don't need to upload certificates. They do not require a degree. 3. Yes, I have quite a few videos showing what the cambly teaching is like and how to access cambly provided articles for discussion from their library. Let me find some links and include them below. I also have a Cambly playlist. You wil not have access to the platform until you are accepted and even then you will not have access to a "classroom" without being in an actual call. It's easy and self explanatory. No worries.
Just applied to Cambly today and they told me my video was too short. I looked at other teachers on the site and many had shorter videos than mine. I wonder is there a reason for this? I'm going to try and film another video tomorrow. Any other tips would be amazing. Love your videos, truly inspiring.
The only thing I can think of is they want more information. They want to get a feel of your style, presence and personality. If you can bring it in a satisfying manner you're good to go. 2-3 minutes should work.
Hi LaShundra, thank you so much for this amazingly helpful video!! You are so incredibly generous with your time and knowledge 🙏🏻😍. I’ve been watching your videos about teaching for a while now and this one has given me the motivation to finally take the plunge with applying to Cambly... Could you just clarify please - is a video for the staff no longer required, and at what point in the process do you have to record the profile video?
Melanie White they have now made it to where the same video you make talking about yourself and interests is used as your profile video AND used for review by the Cambly team. When I first began January 2019 this year they you had to do one for the staff and then upon approval make a profile video. Now it’s all one and the same. You are always welcome to change your profile video as many times as you like on your own just by going in and re-recording it. Thanks for the love 💕 and supporting my channel.
I completed my application over 5 weeks ago and my account is still under review. Is this unusual? I'm wondering if my application has been lost in the cracks and if I should reapply.
Ray Tony I sure would. This time revise it to make it stand out more. Some have said it had taken a couple of months for them to get approved but lately I have seen teachers say it was less than a week.
O'Dwayne Wilson It really all depends. Personally, I don’t create any lessons. They have articles that you can chose from to discuss or for those that like conversation you just keep a conversation flowing and help them with vocabulary. Some tutors like to email clients to agree on a lesson or get clarification of needs (Freetalk or structured lesson) . I am in Cambly for fun a few hours a day so I do zero planning. Some do it like a full time job as well as there being some tutors that majority do IELTS or TEFL tutoring. I say all this just to say: it’s up to you and your intent on Cambly. 😊😁 Inhope that helps. If you have video requests let me know 👍🏾
Hello LaShundra, Thanks for this amazing video. I would love to ask a question and I hope you don't mind. I've tried uploading my video intro but there's no way for me to submit my profile to Cambly because I can't click on the link. What could be the issue please?
Hi LaShundra is it easier to apply to Cambly adult program first and then apply to Cambly kids. I have 2 years online teaching experience and 8 years teaching adults and children.
Hello LaShundra. I filled in the profile and so forth around 6 months ago. It timed out before I could complete the demo video for the kid's class. Is there a way I can speak to you to get some advise on a way forward.
Do you need a computer or can you tutor on cambly from your mobile phone? What site do you apply on Cambly? Do you have to apply on a computer or a phone?
I absolutely love this presentation. I am inspired to try. I followed advice to create an account to watch videos. I can read all profiles but video screen always remains blank. Anything that I am doing wrong?
Hi LaShudra, I really enjoy your videos. Great information and quite enjoyable. I have a question and I wonder if you can help. I was hoping to apply to Cambly but I recently came across a video, here on RUclips, which stated that Cambly is not hiring at the time due to the current health issues all around the world. Could you possibly provide more information. Also, I have tried to go to the Cambly website but it only takes me to the sign up page, I'm unable to get to the recruitment page. Thank you so much
Thank you for this video. I've been watching your other videos and find them really helpful. I'm applying to a few companies and have already been approved by one! I just have one quick question though - on some teachers' profiles, it says that they are a Supertutor. What does this mean? Thanks again for your time.
Thanks Lashundra...i try my best to apply at cambly..i use your referral code..still they reject my application😭😭😭i didnt hear any response from them😭😭
Team Olem Vlogs yes you can reapply. As far as how many days it depends on the demand for tutors. When they need a bunch of tutors people are hearing back in a couple of days. When they don’t people have said it took almost 2 months for them to hear. There is no set time. It depends on the time of year, holidays, and demand
Hello. I used your code because I love your videos and signed up for cambly once I saw you talk about them. I have a few friends who want to sign up. How do I give them my code?
Hi i have applied for tutoring adults and kids but they give me a demo lesson to do for teaching a 7-8 y/o kid. Just checking if this is normal and only for the demo? I would like to teach adults as well.
I have.thirteen years experience in english teaching...and four years in online teaching....last month I applied for cambly tutor post...but still I wouldn't get any msg...wt happend...pls suggeste
I know this video is kind of old. I am nervous about set up a profile. I am wanting to be a a tutor and was wondering could you do this full time? I would like to do both sides of cambly. What are the requirements for Cambly Kids side? I am going to be getting my tefl certificate soon.
And btw, to the others who have commented here. Im thinking they may possibly not be hiring right now. So as to not overboard the current teachers. That's what I read. So maybe that why some not getting hired right now.
Becky Skilling I just added a disclaimer! It is supply and demand. I have seen bunches of callers during the times I’m on but you are right about the need for balance.
@@antonetteharvey4851 how did you get in touch with them? Email? Maybe I should have my young friend try again perhaps??? Did you finally get hired? I wish you all the best!
Hi, LaShundra. How have you been up to? I just saw your videos now, and really I liked, your smile is pure. So, how much you earn per month on Cambly? Is it a part-time or full-time job? I have been living in London for about almost four years and I have been learning English since then. My question is: I will get British passport, but if I go to the interview for one of these online companies, and if they ask me what is your nationality, or which Country are you from? because I was born in Africa, but I have got Portuguese passport. I have heard that native English Speaker earn more money than non native speakers. is it true? I also speak Portuguese fluently, but I fell more comfortable teach English, because I love English. What do you recommend? I will start my degree next year and I very excited about it. The subject I would like to follow is education, because I think is very reward profession in terms of professional achievement. I love teach any language to be honest. I would like to get into this field. Thank you for your video again and, you and sister, are so beautiful. How is it Texas? I would like to visit Texas.
Is it okay to change the video or reupload another after you have signed up and upload your video introduction ? I was planning to make it a little shorter coz I think mine was a little bit longer 😅
Apparently some people don’t want the conversation side of me. The application part begins at 7:48

Hi! I would like to apply to Cambly, but I m very intimidated by the fact that I have to make a video of myself, I have no problem in teaching,
is the presentation video that gives me a bit of anxiety.
Would you like to help me?
I have the same problem. I understand your anxiety 😅
Me to 😢
Thank you for this I tried applying like twice and they rejected me I was starting to think it had to do from where I come from. I am going to try this step by step and report back to you. Hopefully this works even better through your referral. Thanks again much love
antonette harvey you’re very welcome 😊 Make yourself stand out!
Thank you for making this video! I really enjoyed your part about the rating system. Unlike the other teaching platforms, you really can't know who sent the negative ratings nor can you dispute them. This is a negative side of Cambly. The rating system is such an enigma, that if you had any additional insight (like how it influences your priority), I think that would be a great video!
thank you! I applied and did my intro videos.... They rejected my video quality and asked me to try again. I will try again...
Lilly Banks Make sure your lighting is good and you have a stable connection. Watch it before you submit it.
Thanks LaShundra. Greetings from South Africa.
Greetings, Friend! ❤
Your videos are so informative. Thank you
Great video.... thanks so much for making it!!!!
Hi LaShundra Wigdall
I love listening to your videos, you are a natural and have a great sense of humour.
I've sent my application ten days ago and haven't had a reply 😕
I really want to tutor on Cambly for I identify myself with the tutoring method...
Cambly hires by supply and demand. If they have a good number of active tutors to handle to flow of consistent call averages, they will halt hiring so it's not over saturated. For some it is taking some time to get hired. I do hope they get to your application soon! Don't give up.
Thanks for the love!
@@lalalashundra thanks for replying back!🙂
Thank you for your videos!
It is very useful!
Do you think can Cambly pay via account, since in my country we dont have pay pal 😐
Well done. What kind of background was your sister using? Is that what she uses now? Thank you.
Loved your guidance. 🌸
Question, what kind of computer or laptop do you need teaching online. I read that chromebooks are not good. What about a notebook that runs windows 10? Any advice on laptops would be appreciated. Thank you. 🙏🏼
Are you still teaching for Cambly and do you teach for Cambly Kids as well? I'm applying for both I believe.
Hello LaShundra, I'm so happy you shared your sister's experience and yours as well. I'm trying to do something simple but.. I'm not sure what's going on...where exactly do I go to upload my photo for my profile? When I click the little picture box I'm not getting anything.. Hmmm...:-/
Hi there, I am a 52 yr old South African woman very keen to become a tutor, ( had started to fill in the application, and I can't seem to get back there, so as to complete the rest of the questions? I have already submitted bank details successfully but I can't find the other questions I need to fill in.
' Also when clicking on technical setup, it takes me to the instructions? I have been trying the whole day, unfortunately, I don't know anyone who is a tutor, that I can maybe get some computer help. I have learned alot about computers over the last decade, but I'm stumped trying to apply. I have watched a lot of your videos and appreciate your advice. PLEASE help.
I have a question if you applied to a few ESL online companies and got hired by all how do you manage that on your schedule? Do you work for all of them? I'd like to focus on one. Palfish looks like it's a real intensive social media driver, you have to post updates and really drive yourself to get students?
Hi, I'm a non native speaker, from Nigeria, I want to know if I can apply to teach English on Cambly cause am a stay at home mum of two children and I want to make some money to support myself and my children.
Nigerians are native English speakers
@@eneyoayaz2062 true but does cambly accept applicants from around the world for as long as you a native English speaker? Ps am from zambia
@@lwandomumba4649 yes, cambly does 😊😊.
Hi thanks for the video it is useful but i have applied for over and over and over but at every time i didn't get hired i think that because i am no native English speaker but i think my English it is good enough to teach it besides i have English certificate do you have any idea do you think they did not accept me because i a m not native thank you so much and sorry about this long comment take care
Hi, i really need your help. I log out and i was trying to log in again as a tutor but it always take me to a student website 😔 and i can’t log in again. Please get back to me. Thank you
This is happening to me as well. I've filled everything out but it either takes me to student page or back to start of application when I try to click submit. Maybe they are not currently hiring?
@@lol23ist this is happening to me as well. Did you get it figured out?
Hey! I’ve been facing the same issue
Hi Lashundra please could you do a video on how it works getting students, do you just wait? Do they book you, how long does it take before you are taking calls one after the other? Thanks.
Or if you have done a video covering that already please could someone link it🙈
Love your channel. I work for Cambly. I would love to make a video with you about working for them and my experience.
Palfish rejected my application a few minutes after applying. 😟
Cambly will be the next ESL company that I apply to, but I am delaying the process, lol.
I am a retired ex-academic, so having Palfish decline my application was quite a disappointment and really bruised my ego. 🥴
Thank you for the information in your video.
🥺 Best of hope to you! I hope this video helped.
That’s Me it’s possible they rejected because you not a native English speaker
@@survivingduniya1015 how did you became tutor like how can i apply
Got approved. Starting priority hours tomorrow.
Hope I can figure out how to get through the first couple. ???
Hi please let me know how it went?? I am going to sign up too but would love some feedback.
How did it go ? please share ur experience ? in how much time did they answer you ? plus do non native english speakers have a chance too
@@yasmineelmtabii7625
I’ve really enjoyed Cambly. I work just a few hours a week, as this is mostly something I may do more during retirement, which will be some time over the next 3 years.
Such a helpful video! Is there a way I can contact cambly about my application I made a few months ago? Or do they get in contact if you have been accepted or not?
How did you do the background for your sister? Good job w her and explaining to us how to do this.
Hi again LaShundra! For my Cambly video should I use some TPR or not? I am not looking to attract children particularly but I do want to show that I'm trained in it if that would make a difference in getting accepted. Also, is now a good time to do an application, in terms of current demand? Or is there a better time coming up when there might be more need for tutors, and when I would have more chance of being accepted?
I love your video content Mam. Its really interesting!.Awesome! Online Tutor here too!
Thank you so much for sharing. I have been trying to apply but my profile page appears blank. I cleared my cache and restarted my laptop multiple of times. Do you have any idea what could be the problem?
Hey Lala🤗, thanks for this video. It was so helpful in pushing me to try it. I’m just seeing there was a hiring freeze and I applied about 2 weeks ago. Do you think I’ve got a chance? Plus how long does it take to get a response? Thanks a lot
Have you gotten a response yet?
Your braids rock!
Hi.I did not know how to reach you except for here. So I finally got the courage to sign up and do the video..I got a response back saying that my dtess code was wrong .Now I have been teaching for over 15 years and I wore a smart collar dress shirt.So now I am very confused as if the dress shirt is not acceptable what is it they want? I need to get work so this is stressing me now.
Hi LaShundra, what are the IT requirements for Cambly? Do they require minimum download and upload speeds and do they need you to be plugged in with an ethernet connection? Also, are there minumum computer core generation requirements - like i5 4th generation etc.? Thanks.
They don't have a lot of requirements. They just ask that you have decent lighting and your internet speed is fast enough to have a stable connection over their system. They don't have minimum requirements for computers. They ask that you use Google Chrome because that is the best supporting browser and before you tutor you have to undergo a computer and camera test every time. As long as you pass it you are good to go. It doesn't matter if it is Wifi or ethernet
Thank you so much, LaShundra!! I have been bogged down with IT requirements for another platform but now I'm going to set up my fast internet and apply for Cambly to get started. I've watched a lot of your videos and I admire you for your fantastic teaching and tutoring abilities. Thank you for all the help you are giving to applicants. I have opened an application for Cambly using your link but I will first get my fast internet set up, then will do the IT test.
@@terryatkinson5894 Thanks for the love and encouragement. 💕 I love what I do and happy to be of help Best of success to you!
Hello again, LaShun'dra! I have a few more questions before I apply.
1. Do you only have to make one video to apply, the profile one directed at potential Cambly users, like your sister's? Or do you also make an application video directed at the Cambly recruiters?
2. Do you need to upload your resume with your application? Or just your degree and certificates?
3. Have you made any utube videos showing the Cambly platform and how it looks while you are teaching? Like translation boxes or where you see the student's or your face on the Cambly platform - also how you access prepared lessons on Cambly and an example of how to teach them? I'm referring not to Cambly Kids, but the conversational platform. I understand that there might be some copyright involved here, so maybe you aren't allowed to show these things. Just thought I would ask. Thanks!!!! Or - does Cambly allow you to walk through this on their platform only once you have been accepted?
My fibre is almost ready and as soon as I have my super-fast internet connection, I'll be applying. I'm doing my best to be fully prepared!
Have a great weekend and thank you again for all the help. Much appreciated. :-)
@@terryatkinson5894 The one you apply with is the one that will be put on your profile for public view as well.
2. You don't need to upload certificates. They do not require a degree.
3. Yes, I have quite a few videos showing what the cambly teaching is like and how to access cambly provided articles for discussion from their library. Let me find some links and include them below. I also have a Cambly playlist.
You wil not have access to the platform until you are accepted and even then you will not have access to a "classroom" without being in an actual call. It's easy and self explanatory. No worries.
Hey teacher!Do you practice ventriloquism?How did you learn it?
Thank you for your videos! I just submitted my profile...please wish me luck...! :)
Hi Teach, are you still with Cambly? Can you help me write a profile? Please...
Just applied to Cambly today and they told me my video was too short. I looked at other teachers on the site and many had shorter videos than mine. I wonder is there a reason for this? I'm going to try and film another video tomorrow. Any other tips would be amazing. Love your videos, truly inspiring.
The only thing I can think of is they want more information. They want to get a feel of your style, presence and personality. If you can bring it in a satisfying manner you're good to go. 2-3 minutes should work.
Love your videos!
Jenny Orlov thank you!
Hi LaShundra, thank you so much for this amazingly helpful video!! You are so incredibly generous with your time and knowledge 🙏🏻😍. I’ve been watching your videos about teaching for a while now and this one has given me the motivation to finally take the plunge with applying to Cambly... Could you just clarify please - is a video for the staff no longer required, and at what point in the process do you have to record the profile video?
Melanie White they have now made it to where the same video you make talking about yourself and interests is used as your profile video AND used for review by the Cambly team. When I first began January 2019 this year they you had to do one for the staff and then upon approval make a profile video. Now it’s all one and the same. You are always welcome to change your profile video as many times as you like on your own just by going in and re-recording it.
Thanks for the love 💕 and supporting my channel.
Thank you so much - I’ve just submitted my application using your referral code so 🤞🏻... 😊
I got approved within 6 hours!!!! 😮😁🥳 Thanks again for all the advice and inspiration 😘
@@melaniewhite4214 PRAISE PARTY!!!!!!!!!! Welcome aboard! You "kilt" it!
Hi! I just wanna ask how much trouble you'll be in if you have low ratings? Like what would happen? I look forward to hearing from you 😊
I used your link for tutor sign-up..thanks..hope I get thru it..
I followed all of your steps and have been slowly waiting been waiting for almost 2 months for them to approve.
thank you , so inspiring! x
I completed my application over 5 weeks ago and my account is still under review. Is this unusual? I'm wondering if my application has been lost in the cracks and if I should reapply.
Ray Tony I sure would. This time revise it to make it stand out more. Some have said it had taken a couple of months for them to get approved but lately I have seen teachers say it was less than a week.
@@lalalashundra how to reapply cause mine is also under review since end of June. thanks.
My application is also under review for 1 month now so how do we reapply?
@@fatimasidat1710 mine was under review for months on end. I checked on it, was told it was a glitch in the system, then they denied my application.
Hey Lashundra, DO we have to create our own lessons for cambly and how much do you think we need to be fully covered for all students needs
O'Dwayne Wilson It really all depends. Personally, I don’t create any lessons. They have articles that you can chose from to discuss or for those that like conversation you just keep a conversation flowing and help them with vocabulary. Some tutors like to email clients to agree on a lesson or get clarification of needs (Freetalk or structured lesson) . I am in Cambly for fun a few hours a day so I do zero planning. Some do it like a full time job as well as there being some tutors that majority do IELTS or TEFL tutoring. I say all this just to say: it’s up to you and your intent on Cambly. 😊😁 Inhope that helps. If you have video requests let me know 👍🏾
Hello LaShundra,
Thanks for this amazing video. I would love to ask a question and I hope you don't mind. I've tried uploading my video intro but there's no way for me to submit my profile to Cambly because I can't click on the link.
What could be the issue please?
Oluchukwu Jacinta hmmmm.... perhaps you just need to refresh the browser. Also, Make sure you are using Google Chrome.
Hi I am a Special Needs Teacher Assistant. I want to start with Cambly but I dont have the TEFL.
You don't need anything degrees or certification. 😊 That's another reason why they pay is what it is.
Hello teacher what will happen if you can't conduct a demonstration
Hi LaShundra is it easier to apply to Cambly adult program first and then apply to Cambly kids. I have 2 years online teaching experience and 8 years teaching adults and children.
Hello LaShundra. I filled in the profile and so forth around 6 months ago. It timed out before I could complete the demo video for the kid's class. Is there a way I can speak to you to get some advise on a way forward.
Do you need a computer or can you tutor on cambly from your mobile phone? What site do you apply on Cambly? Do you have to apply on a computer or a phone?
I absolutely love this presentation. I am inspired to try. I followed advice to create an account to watch videos. I can read all profiles but video screen always remains blank. Anything that I am doing wrong?
Hi LaShudra, I really enjoy your videos. Great information and quite enjoyable. I have a question and I wonder if you can help. I was hoping to apply to Cambly but I recently came across a video, here on RUclips, which stated that Cambly is not hiring at the time due to the current health issues all around the world. Could you possibly provide more information. Also, I have tried to go to the Cambly website but it only takes me to the sign up page, I'm unable to get to the recruitment page. Thank you so much
I'm introverted too but I would like to do Cambly.
Thank you for this video. I've been watching your other videos and find them really helpful. I'm applying to a few companies and have already been approved by one! I just have one quick question though - on some teachers' profiles, it says that they are a Supertutor. What does this mean? Thanks again for your time.
Natalie Rangkla it means they have done 500 classes with a 4.9 at higher average rating.
Natalie Rangkla also... Congratulations and thanks for the love on my channel.
Thanks Lashundra...i try my best to apply at cambly..i use your referral code..still they reject my application😭😭😭i didnt hear any response from them😭😭
Team Olem Vlogs maybe it was your video submission...it could be that they have revived an overwhelming response for tutor approval requests.
@@lalalashundra for how many days ?that can hear them back? Can i still reapply using another email??
Team Olem Vlogs yes you can reapply. As far as how many days it depends on the demand for tutors. When they need a bunch of tutors people are hearing back in a couple of days. When they don’t people have said it took almost 2 months for them to hear. There is no set time. It depends on the time of year, holidays, and demand
Hello. I used your code because I love your videos and signed up for cambly once I saw you talk about them. I have a few friends who want to sign up. How do I give them my code?
Can u please please help me out, how to enroll as a tutor??? I can even find that part..... Please help me
i am from morocco north africa (non-native speaker) but my English is fluent maybe a c1 level, sooo can i get hired ???
Hi i have applied for tutoring adults and kids but they give me a demo lesson to do for teaching a 7-8 y/o kid. Just checking if this is normal and only for the demo?
I would like to teach adults as well.
I have.thirteen years experience in english teaching...and four years in online teaching....last month I applied for cambly tutor post...but still I wouldn't get any msg...wt happend...pls suggeste
I know this video is kind of old. I am nervous about set up a profile. I am wanting to be a a tutor and was wondering could you do this full time? I would like to do both sides of cambly. What are the requirements for Cambly Kids side? I am going to be getting my tefl certificate soon.
Do you think the Cambly are hiring now??
And btw, to the others who have commented here. Im thinking they may possibly not be hiring right now. So as to not overboard the current teachers. That's what I read. So maybe that why some not getting hired right now.
Becky Skilling I just added a disclaimer! It is supply and demand. I have seen bunches of callers during the times I’m on but you are right about the need for balance.
they are hiring now I asked them and they said they were
@@antonetteharvey4851 how did you get in touch with them? Email? Maybe I should have my young friend try again perhaps??? Did you finally get hired? I wish you all the best!
@@beckys1570 I contacted them via facebook they take a couple of hours and up to a day to reply and no nothing yet
@@antonetteharvey4851 ok. Thanks for your reply. I suggested to my friend to try Palfish Kids .
So after 10 minutes you don't get paid?
Thanks
Hi, LaShundra. How have you been up to? I just saw your videos now, and really I liked, your smile is pure. So, how much you earn per month on Cambly? Is it a part-time or full-time job? I have been living in London for about almost four years and I have been learning English since then. My question is: I will get British passport, but if I go to the interview for one of these online companies, and if they ask me what is your nationality, or which Country are you from? because I was born in Africa, but I have got Portuguese passport. I have heard that native English Speaker earn more money than non native speakers. is it true? I also speak Portuguese fluently, but I fell more comfortable teach English, because I love English. What do you recommend? I will start my degree next year and I very excited about it. The subject I would like to follow is education, because I think is very reward profession in terms of professional achievement. I love teach any language to be honest. I would like to get into this field. Thank you for your video again and, you and sister, are so beautiful. How is it Texas? I would like to visit Texas.
Is it okay to change the video or reupload another after you have signed up and upload your video introduction ? I was planning to make it a little shorter coz I think mine was a little bit longer 😅
