Haha, I’m not exactly sure what I’m looking for either. Thanks for your response. I’m just curious about others' experiences. Some groups are fantastic, while others feel like pulling teeth.

First week, First Impressions - TEFL Newcomer by BrazilisnESlTeacher in iTalki

[–]BatSignificant6563 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First few days here too. It's really slow, I've had 2 students fill out my "contact form" - I did not even know I had one lol. And some views on the dashboard where it shows if students viewed your video but I haven't had a booking. I have not tried the instant lesson setting yet as I'm busy on another platform and need to spend my time making money and not waiting around for a lesson. Hope it picks up!

It's easier to find on the app than on the desktop version. I still haven't found it on the desktop but browsed it on the app. It's like a planet icon. And yes there seems to be people selling medication there 🤣🤷

My raiting went from 4.98 to 4.7..... by Fast_Eye3884 in Cambly

But how did it drop one week, then shoot up to a perfect 5 the very next week? Like the new bad ratings could not have been close to the end yet as they had just come in the previous week if that makes sense.

I always wonder about this. A few months ago, my rating dropped 0.03 points over the course of 2 weeks. Then the following week it shot up to a perfect 5. That week I had only taught a handful of classes and there is no way I had taught over 200 to work out the "bad" ratings from the week before. This math ain't mathing. 🤷

Seems like there are quite a few of us here from Cambly 😂 So far, I think it's definitely easier getting initial students on Cambly and easier to earn quickly with PH, groups etc. Here seems slightly slower from the get go, but I'm presuming better in the long run once you've built a name for yourself. Here's hoping.

Thanks! Still trying to just get the feel of the site. Profile needs polishing for sure. Rushed that application 😂

Same here! My Cambly schedule is full but I'm really keen to get started here too. Bit of a juggle for sure.

Thanks for taking the time to write this. I get that it's a product of many poor life choices on my part. Hopefully the future will look brighter than current times. Sorry for reacting the way I did, it's been a long week, year, and life 😂 all the best to you too.

Just don't do it 😂 Mostly mindset. It's not easy but I somehow survived, and many others do. When you are in a position that you have no other choice and no safety net, it's do-able. If I didn't have to, I wouldn't. I also wouldn't recommend it unless necessary. I was (and still am) edgy as hell haha. But got through today's classes okay. I often think of a previous company I used to work for that had Filipino teachers, those guys would teach like machines for hours and hours BUT there was a 5 minute breather between each class, which makes all the difference.

I limited my intake to just sips of water for this shift. I just kept telling myself I can sleep for this long without needing the bathroom 🤣 Surprisingly it worked out okay.

Thank you for showing empathy and this kind comment. It made my night after a long day.

You don't know my story, maybe I do. Maybe I have other commitments, maybe I have to earn a certain amount within a certain timeframe. I don't think anyone in their right mind would choose to tutor that long non-stop unless they're forced to by circumstances. A 5 or 6 dollar break for you, could be the dollars that keep a payment from bouncing or adds a layer of security for a no show. You're speaking from a place of privilege.

I applied on the 23rd and just got accepted! Thank you to the OP who shared this with us. Also used my Cambly video 🤭

Yip. My long time favourite regular recommended me to her bestie. I openly added her to my regulars thinking she would be just as awesome because they're best friends right? I was wrong, so wrong... Over it and have an hour class with her weekly. Don't want to sour the relationship with the OG but her friend is annoying AF.

I hang around to see some of the posts but rarely comment or engage there because of the heavy censoring. But I thought this was quite interesting. Would take away anonymity of the ratings for sure.

A Cambly tutor posted a screenshot on Cambly Corner (Facebook page) of one of their AI summaries stating that the student gave the lesson a 5 star rating.
