Cambly Kids: Pros and Cons 

Thank you for watching! 😍 And definitely do. It is a great company! Happy to help when you apply. 💖 Apply here: www.cambly.com/en/tutors?lang=en&referralCode=kelly628

Hi! That is amazing! Congrats on getting accepting and getting started, yay! 🥳 And thank you so much for applying under me. If you need anything at all, do feel free to reach out and I am happy to help. 😁

Yes, you can see lesson material once you have a reservation scheduled.

@@TeacherKelly And is the language proficiency level known simply from the lesson level? Strategies and resources needed to have on hand would vary greatly especially if you are working with a child who is nearly FEP. So I am confused about that element.

Hi! It is very normsl. Processing times vary wildly - some are accepted in hours, others days, weeks or longer. It is largely just a waiting game. 😬

Hi! Congrats! 😍 Priority hours only work for adults, as Cambly Kids classes are by reservation only. (Although doing some hours can still be a good idea just for experience!) Make sure your profile is geared toward kids and attractive to potential students. 😊

Hi Kim I was wondering how long did it take for you to be approved for Cambly Kids? I was approved in 8 hours for the adults program but I wanted to wait to submit my demo. I did that yesterday and I'm hoping I won't have to wait too long :)

Awesome! 💜 Cambly Kids has structured curriculums for different levels, and lessons load automatically for each class. (It is more like iTutorGroup than normal Cambly, if that makes sense.)

Hi! When applying, you are essentially applying for both Cambly and Cambly Kids. There is no way around that, as you can't teach for Cambly Kids without also being hired at Cambly. However, once approved to teach, you can open your schedule for kids-only reservations. You are not required to teach adults at all. :)

@@TeacherKelly great!! That’s what I wanted to know. Reservations for kids only... I’m really happy.. thank you so much!! Btw, how long are kids only classes?

@@craftygabijamberryavongall7183 No problem. Kids reservations are 30 minutes. :) I just put up a new video on making a good Cambly Kids intro video. Be sure to check it out!

@@TeacherKelly Sure will... :-)

@@TeacherKelly can you give me some tips to past the video demo??

Hi! Thanks for supporting my channel. 💜 For the demo, just cover what you can of the material. Focus more on showing your skills and abilities, rather than trying to rush.

Thanks alot 🌼

Hi! None of the companies will care what visa you are on, as you can live and work from anywhere. But, you won't be able to use this to apply to companies that want US/Canada teachers. You will instead need to apply to companies that accept your nationality/passport.

Hi! They will email you once approved, but you can also keep a check on your application page. There is no set timeframe to hear. They hire according to demand, so it can be hours, days, weeks, etc. 😊

Hi! Thanks for watching my channel!

@@TeacherKelly thanks so much, also I was wondering if these companies have an age cut off, my mom is a very passionate teacher also has bachelor degree in teaching but she has just retired and I thought she could do this too? Also what minimum tech do I need to be able to teach. I have an i3 laptop 10 and 20 mbps fiber and headset with mic. Is this adequate or what do you recomend? Are there any other online teaching platforms that accept South Africans?

@@TeacherKelly What if your state teaching certificate already states that you are certified to teach both English K-6 and English to Speakers of Other Languages K-8? I am assuming that is all that would be needed, but thought I would verify. What would you say are the highest paying online positions teaching ELLs? Outschool and iTalki both look good, and setting my own pay is ideal. Pay is paramount, of course, but so are hours and I know I have to find a good balance of the two, which is why I was considering all options until I build up clientele. I may wish to speak with you more in depth at some point. Okay, thanks from this fellow redhead! :)

@@lockergr Requirements will vary company to company, and your state certification may or may not be enough. (Some schools still want a stand alone ESL qualification.) I honestly don't work with many set-your-own rate companies myself. I am with Outschool, but don't do anything with them at present, just for lack of time. Personally, I find the marketplace-type platforms do allow for higher pay, but can also be super competitive. So although your hourly may be better, you may not get enough work to make a difference. Some teachers are wildly successful, while others are not. So it really depends on what you are offering! Definitely feel free to email me to chat further.

@@TeacherKelly Yes, it really is a trade-off. It is a challenge with so many out there finding those that offer the best wages.

Typically Cambly Kids only accepts native English speakers. Cambly does accept from Philippines though.

@@kellydaigle8636 Thank you for answering my question, Teacher Kelly. Will still try if Cambly Kids will accept my application. ☺

Hi! Cambly isn't picky about the type of headphones you use. But do just double check that the sound quality is good. 😊

@@TeacherKelly thank you so much

@@danicaxavier No problem! 💖

Hi! Thanks for watching. Payment is by paypal only at this time. 💜

Hi! You should be able to redo it as needed. Note though that it may not mean you get a faster response.

Hi! Unfortunately not. Cambly doesn't use codes for teachers, only links. (So you would have needed to sign up via my link to be under me.) 😔

No problem! 😊 Yes bookings will often run into each other. They aren't strict about timing like most companies. I always am running a minute or two behind. 😅

@@TeacherKelly Yay thanks! I used your referral link so if I do the live interview I may see you then!

Woohoo! Awesome! 😊 There isn't a live interview for Cambly Kids, but just ashort recorded demo. But definitely reach out if I can help. Happy to assist however you need! 💜

@@TeacherKelly How do you handle bathroom breaks? I would have to go once an hour I imagine. I like having time to have a quick drink of water, blow my nose-whatever! It would stink to have to take a 30 minute break just so you can use the bathroom and switch over to your next student.

@@lockergr Different teachers do different things in terms of scheduling. (And it is a personal thing based on your needs!) I personally include breaks in my schedule, so I can go to the bathroom, breath and relax, eat, or whatever else I need to do. For Cambly, classes are 30 minutes and back to back, so you can't really squeeze in things between. You never want to pause a lesson, be late or end early. So taking breaks is essential.

Cambly only gives links. Maybe try KELLY628? I don't think referrals can be added after the fact either though. But thank you!! 💜

That is great! I live the industry, but of course, as my video implies, there are pros and cons. 😉

Very carefully! I keep a planner on my ipad and always keep things carefully tracked day to day, week to week there. I never double book myself, as it is too stressful for me haha! (But I know some teachers who do this and manage well.)

Hi! There is no live interview for Cambly/Cambly Kids. You can apply here: www.cambly.com/invite/KELLY628?st=041521&sc=4

Thank you! Cambly/Cambly Kids hiring is always variable. They receive tons of applications ongoingly, and only hire what they need at any given time. I usually suggest applying, then forgetting about it until you hear back. In terms of scheduling, you set your own hours whenever you like, and students can book with you. (So the company doesn't book on your behalf.) It is completely flexible.

Cambly/Cambly Kids does not require any qualifications or experience. However, they can be very competitive to get into so. So having something is beneficial.

Thank you! And good idea! Will definitely look at doing a video on set up soon. 🤩 Cambly Kids is 30 minute classes and it is reservation only (ie, you can't get Cambly Kids student on priority hours). But it is still paid per minute, so if something happens and the lesson ends early, you still only get paid for the minutes you've taught. 😊

​@@TeacherKelly Thanks for the clarification! Do the students usually stay the entire 30 min or have you had students duck out at 10 minutes? Haha

@@Connor-fg9qg No problem. They usually stay; I have only had a handful of times where my student needed to leave early. Parents are paying for the class, so they wouldn't be too happy if their kiddo ended class early. 🤣

You are so welcome!

Thank you!! 💜💖💜

Aww thank you so much! Super happy to hear you enjoy my videos. 😍 In terms of companies, try Engoo, Native Camp, First Future, Fluentby, Amazing Talker or acadsoc. Those all hire non-natives I believe! 💖
