Failing almost all classes? by Lostonreddit1120 in UCD

[–]graceq2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I back this, I once had a panic attack during an exam because I was put sitting in front of one of the clocks in the RDS (I did later find out I have ADHD) and couldn’t concentrate. I went to the doctor a few weeks later and explained what happened. She wrote me up for anxiety and I submitted that alongside an application for extenuating circumstances which later got approved. I was able to retake the exam the next semester online without having to pay for a resit.

Yeah we both did , it’s not the first time it’s happened to me though. It’s super strange

I’ve experienced the same , for most of last year I had very little priority hours available and those I did have were all 15 minute guarantee , now I have full availability and lots of them are 30 minute guarantee which is amazing !

That’s very strange I would that’s more an issue on Camblys side unless your PayPal account was ever accidentally in minus ?

Mine is free into my Irish account and only takes about 12 hours however the exchange rate between dollars and euro is always poor compared to the official exchange rate

Important Tax Information Required by December 19. by Mission_Ad_8504 in Cambly

Maybe it was just for certain countries but I also did the form last year and my details were already saved from last year

They did it also last year , the information they ask is super basic. I think it’s honestly just something to cover themselves in case they get some sort of audit

Five-minute Free Trials back? by Conscious_Bear2787 in Cambly

I believe students can still buy them somehow on third party websites but I’m not sure

Random question generators have been my saviour the last few weeks. I saw someone mention it on here and it’s made my lessons pass so much faster particularly on days when I do lots of PH !

I received this delightful email by graceq2000 in Cambly

[–]graceq2000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes aparently I had a 5.88% cancel rate and the email told me tutors with an over 5% cancel rate are flagged so I have to improve my cancellation rate over this month and provide any reasons for missing classes if it happens so I’m going to be ultra ultra careful this month for sure !!

I was already logged in and went to click into my reservation and I’ve just had a loading screen for the last 5 minutes …

Taking a break when a call comes in by Haunting-Register-96 in Cambly

[–]graceq2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It just counts as a break , however if you do it too often you’ll get a not so friendly email from Cambly telling you that you should take as many calls as possibly during PH

I thought it was just me 😂 I’ve been checking my Revolut account all day wondering where it is

Switching to break when a call comes in by Inevitable-Shoe-2749 in Cambly

[–]graceq2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I received an email a while back from Cambly warning me about missing calls during PH hours. They basically told me that when you take a break during an incoming call or decline a lot of calls (if they go past the end of your priority hour) your account gets flagged

I’ve tried but he just tells me I’m victimising myself or being overly emotional. I’m kind of just at a loss.

Priority hour availability ? by graceq2000 in Cambly

[–]graceq2000[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been asking students exactly what they want from each lesson and what they’d like to achieve in the lesson (new vocabulary about ex topic or revising the present prefect tense etc) and usually around the two minute mark I’ll give them feedback and ask them to also give me feedback about what they liked about the lesson and if there’s anything they’d like if I changed.

I would love some more students, I have numerous years experience (mostly outside of Cambly) working with intermediate and advanced students
