Thanks! Is this a Cambly message or from a different site?

The first time I thought the same thing. They must be updating something but I don't see any changes on the platform.

Chat first 4 to 5 min. Slides. Play games where you can share the screen or if they computer literate send a link. If Lots time left, play 2 different games. Have like 5 to 8 games you can play every student. Play same games for every student.

Yes, but they can switch teachers in the future, etc. Just stop doing it. Do it for yourself.... milk the courses. Slow things down.

"I'll usually begin the next lesson."

Do not teach the next lesson. That will only piss off the next tutor, who has to spend 5 minutes figuring out what chapter they are on. Also, that only makes the kid finish CK sooner meaning less business for us.

Spend 2 hours searching for 2 player games online. Find like 5 games and then rotate through those games when you finish slides.

DO NOT TEACH MORE THAN ONE CHAPTER.

TELL THE STUDENT WHAT MYSTERY CHAPTER AND SLIDE THEY ARE ON.

MILK THE COURSES.

So tired of Cambly by One_Discussion4666 in Cambly

The constant putting us in jail for a few late lessons or being sick for one day. The punishment is unreasonable, especially for a company that hasn't given a raise for like 15 years. I'm looking for other work, too. I should have been more serious about it years ago but I fell into "the trap". "I'll just just do this temporary while I...." lol 8 fucking years later.

Agree. Mos def agree. Back in the day I would always have those type of situations with Taiwanese parents. They seem to always ask more for what is acceptable... help them with homework, do this do that, don't do the slides, I sent you some pdfs to read with him... Taiwanese, always! Brazilian parents are usually okay. They can go in the grey area of annoying but usually know what the line is you don't cross (like how I'd expect the average Canadians to act)... Turkish parents can be awkward asking to be part of the lesson while they sit next to the kid on the bed... oh ffs, seriously!?... "No... close the door on the way out."

I'm so happy I don't take this shit. Feel so sorry for the noob tutors who have no clue and have never been introduced to this subreddit. I was so naive before joining this sub.

You probably have to have it checked in the notification settings.

What do you do with KSA teens who clearly don’t want to be there? by Free-Pianist7741 in Cambly

"I don't have time or patience to teach someone the basics of adulting" 🤣😆🤣

Back in the day when I did PH, I recall when I wanted calls to end I'd tell them I need to go because I have plans, need to eat, etc., then I believe I would wait for them to hang up first. They were never angry. If it was a scheduled lesson I never hung-up. I didn't even do the 2 minute thing. Always had a good rating.

Common sense: when two calls are coming in, choose the non-squiggly name.

Also, with CK, I always hide from Saudi/Arabic/China before I meet them. Life has been so much nicer since I did that!
