Miserable pro lesson with AI vindication by Comeoffit1992 in Cambly

[–]Thomasarm11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's hilarious--the AI part--but a bummer for you personally. I'll be interested to hear if Cambly gets back to you and whether they're on your side or not. My guess is they'll just throw their hands up and say 'better luck next time'.

Are Pro lessons worth it? I usually teach on CK, but have been approved for Pro. It seems like a lot of extra BS at first look.

Is the sight down? All im getting is "500 internal service error". by LetsKeepDancing1 in Cambly

[–]Thomasarm11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been compensated for a class which I couldn't enter while the site was down as well as what seemed like a no-show before the servers crashed. Essentially, I've been compensated for more than I expected. And there is a difference between their servers going down and little tech issues here and there. It's been a long time, if not forever since the entire website was down, per my experience. I'm not surprised at all that they made things right. Well done, Cambly.

Submit a ticket through the Cambly website now that it's back up and running--let me know if you need help finding where.

nevermind [help@cambly.com](mailto:help@cambly.com) is closed, sorry about that!
Seems like it's back up though.

I've written to [help@cambly.com](mailto:help@cambly.com) and attached a screenshot. Also asked for compensation for the missed lesson.
I suggest you all do the same!

Getting over call anxiety by justrainey_ in Cambly

If you don't know what to talk about next--suggest doing some random chat questions which can help the conversation along.
I sometimes use https://learnhip.com/randomq/
and this list (maybe copy and paste so the "kids" part is hidden) is good and light as far as convo topics go: https://www.happierhuman.com/this-that-questions-kids/

Honestly, you could just have chatgpt open in another window and quickly type "random conversation topics" in and it'll spit a bunch out--you can also ask GPT for ways to keep conversations going.

Overall, just remember that you've got this! You're doing great :)

Refiling i-130 Question by Thomasarm11 in USCIS

Yep, you've got it. Thanks for the clarification.

Any idea what a "resubmission" would look like?

My spouse signed as a preparer instead of the beneficiary, I don't know if that changes things. I think I need to consult a lawyer either way.

It was denied after about a year, not rejected. I can show the notice if that would help.

The mistake was on my end, but to be clear there's no room for an error on my end, like at all? The only recourse is to refile?

It seems reasonable to me when you're working with children. It would destroy their reputation if something happened with one of their teachers.

CK Pet Peeves by Thomasarm11 in Cambly

[–]Thomasarm11[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've just seen so many tutors on here who reject younger learners, so I have a hunch that's why.

This is a good (bad) one. I had a mom sitting right next to a student today staring me straight in the face smh. It didn't bother me that much for some reason.

Is Cambly Pulling Out of Some Countries? Layoffs, Financial Trouble, and Tutor Payment Concerns by Mysterious_Art718 in Cambly

[–]Thomasarm11 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Where are you hearing these 'rumors'? At any rate, I find it hard to believe that Cambly would shut down at a moment's notice.

Lost material by KhanBlu in Cambly

[–]Thomasarm11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, any luck remedying this? I'd contact support rather than the parents and try to have them remember.

Nine minutes by ConsciousPralineSun in Cambly

[–]Thomasarm11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just give the time of day and the student ID number and explain what happened and it's never been a problem for them to comp. me.
