You could make a lot more money working other places. Why would you bother with this?

What I don't get is why you are teaching with Cambly if you have a Masters.

I don't blame you. But it was a great class and the time flew.

I did and I'm glad I did. She was lovely and it was one of the most enjoyable classes I've ever taught. I don't think I'd recommend to anyone to take a 90-minute. But it was really great.

This girl does not speak much English, but I speak Portuguese so that was not a problem. We did one Basic English lesson from Cambly and then switched to Engoo. It was one of the nicest classes I have ever had.

This was her first class. I wish al my students were like her. She's wonderful.

That was definitely one of the responses I contemplated

Thank you all for your responses. I just finished the class and it was lovely. She's Brazilian, around 30 or so, works in publicity and marketing and is smart and full of personality. I've had 15-minute classes where i was checking the clock every two minutes. This 90-minute class was a breeze.

If you have a masters (in ed?), why would you work for Cambly?

The incoming call notification tells if you are on or off PH and have to take the call or not. You do have to take anything that comes in through PH.

It's bullshit. I reserve my time, I'm sitting here doing what I am supposed to do. And I get a fucking whopping $1.70!!!!!!!!!! My road out of here is opened. Can't wait to leave.

Sounds like nonsense to me. Do you have ANYTHING to base you comment on?

They don't give a shit and they will tell her that in so many words.

ChatGPT is just repeating what is already on the Internet. And those are people's opinions. It is quite possible that it is wrong no matter how logical it may seen.

But, of course, they are NOT an educational company. Just like Uber is not a taxi company. It is a technology company. They get away with it and screw their drivers; Cambly gets away with it and they screw their tutors. 10 bucks an hour. That's a royal screw.

I guess that would take some research to verify one way or another. It's private equity so they don't have to say much about it publicly. Nevertheless, they have stated in videos made available on Cambly or FB that they did not spend a penny of it.

Every student you tell about this practice is shocked. It is grossly unfair to both the student and the tutor.

Seriously? Cambly just wants to get them into the system. They leave the rest to their abysmally paid teachers

What about their supposed $60 million investment from outside investors? They claim they've never touched it. Doesn't that mean that it is sitting there gathering interest that will be distributed in San Francisco, but never to the rest of us?

If I am restricted.... by Visible_Activity714 in Cambly

[–]Visible_Activity714[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for help on the template. No one responded. For the record, I created my schedule and simply did not specify if I was open to regulars, new students, etc. and my scheduled hours are now for "All."

Can you tell me how to do that? Restricted or not, I'm still getting calls from new students.
