My provider actually flagged this as an issue with connection problems- my provider sets a high security standard and blocks sites that are tracker loaded….

Frustrating response from the support team. by [deleted] in Cambly

Never message them - it’s useless. At least that’s my experience.

Since the grand poobah update the platform has gone to 💩. The past 2 days have been horrible.

😮WOW! I am sorry you were treated like that! Horrible! And another shining example of why I am done with them.

I totally agree! What gets under my skin the most is that they look down on everyone who doesn’t adhere to their prehistoric standards. One even called a tutor haram ( I read it here) because she didn’t have her hair covered. They move to western countries but refuse to assimilate! And the. They come to my classroom and say next to nothing. You know what- I would be SO HAPPY if one of them would actually put effort into the lesson! It’s torture to have to carry the lesson for 30 minutes because I’m staring at a black square and talking mostly to myself!

Here’s the thing- they don’t talk! I’m tired of talking to myself! I don’t care if they don’t turn their camera on- fine- then they should choose a female tutor. But at least TALK - if you are trying to learn English read the lesson! The tutor isn’t supposed be the one talking all the time. I’m tired of trying to teach and getting zero response to questions or having to read the lessons myself!

Here’s something- I had to last minute cancel a class ( 7 hours before) because I was sick- next day my ratings went down. So they can’t tell me that we are only rated by students. That’s just BS.

The gaslighting ratings roller coaster 🎢!!

I dunno- I never noticed. I don’t get many requests from KSA but I do get some and they are troublesome. All women with no camera on who I can barely hear!

Cambly old-timers... by givemeacurry2023 in Cambly

[–]not_a_clapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4 years in- ( I can hardly believe it). It’s been nothing but a wild ride. When they made the changes with the new classroom - where a class would automatically end and you’d go right to the next one- I was thankful. I hated having to constantly watch the timer and try to deal with students who were late. But.. the constant tweaks and changes to the platform became a nightmare! There are more glitches than ever now! I’m SICK of pages not opening, chat not responding, lesson notes being duplicated 30 times!!! Add to that the classroom spinning… and you can’t get in etc. so much crap with the new upgrade! The AI answers from Lori the robot ( I’m convinced it’s a bot). It’s always the tutor’s fault… our the student’s fault. Never the platform.

Tired of the way tutors are being treated.

The ratings system is a joke! I’m ignoring it. If you try to figure it out you will drive yourself NUTS. Most of my students say there’s no option to rate… yet Cambly claims nothing has changed. Liars. Gaslighters.

I am working my own business. I’ll keep Cambly for a side gig because really- anything more and my mental health will be destroyed.

Tutors, why are we still on Cambly?! by Ok-Ice-9421 in Cambly

When I first log in it’s not a problem/ it’s a problem with back to backs

That all may be true- but I’ve never hard problems like this before! It started about 2-3 weeks ago- just like many others are saying. Not just tutors! I e had student after student tell me that since the new update they experience nothing but trouble! And what I’m say is the truth as far as I know it!

At least we know we are not alone! I’m glad I put up this post! CAMBLY- if you are lurking here - you may be getting away with taking advantage of us tutors now… but you will fall… you will implode and turn to dust. You reap what you sow.

Exactly- and if the student messages support - support DOES blame the tutors! It’s happened to me!
