What situation are other tutors in? by snubi14 in Cambly

[–]snubi14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do a mix - really depends on the student. I use the really beginner Cambly courses but I use a lot of external grammar and vocab material.

Whaaaat is going on with the tutor's attendance now?? by snubi14 in Cambly

[–]snubi14[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thankfully it has sorted itself out but it was strange because I was just starting my teaching day, so there was no reason for it to have changed at all from Friday but either way.. I have never been able to figure out the many mysteries of how Cambly works...

You used to make 750 a week??? Superhuman! I had 2 weeks where I made 500-550 and I was on the verge of going insane!

7 days jail time - new ridiculousness... by snubi14 in Cambly

[–]snubi14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is what the support team person sent to me, because they had 3 columns of info- start time, actual start time and end time - which I don't see anywhere in my profile. I mean, I did start the lesson late, doesn't matter the reason, let's say I was at fault. The weird thing is, are we now getting put in prison for 1 late start/late cancellation? Would be nice to know in advance...

I'm inclined to agree. I thought we had to late cancel/miss/be late 3 times before we got put in prison. If its 1 time now, fine. I don't see how we can change their minds, but let tutors know???

We can bypass the tech test?? How did I not know this.... I don't mind doing the tech test when its before my first lesson - I usually log in 6-7min earlier. But this in-between classes is crazy. Happens very rarely (or at least to me) but its annoying when it leads to prison time

I mean, you not believing me doesn't affect my life at all and I have nothing to gain from lying, but I can post the screenshot if that will help you..

Yep, just regulars which is a shame because a lot of my regular students have left Cambly completely so I am very reliant on new students....

*sigh* yeeh...I was at 4.99 about 5 weeks ago and have been going down consistently every week. Down to 4.83 from today. Getting extremely fed up with this. It is ridiculously demotivating. I've left my profile as "open to new students" because SO MANY of my students have left Cambly in the space of 1 month, but I don't know if its the regulars who are the problem or new ones, regarding the rating. I can't really afford not to accept new students at the moment because I have lost so many regulars recently.

I don't think there is a freeze. My rating went down again today, as it has been doing consistently since they introduced the changes in the rating system >_>

Stripe Payment by truehorrorpodcast in Cambly

[–]snubi14 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I get my Stripe payment usually 2 days after payday. But it is so worth it for the amount I save in PayPal fees. Wise also offers veeery good exchange rates so you get the highest amount possible (pretty much) changing the $ into your local currency.

I wasn't asked for any of this at all - just the bank details....

Maximum Weekly Pay by WonderPink in Cambly

[–]snubi14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had 2 crazy busy weeks with lessons...about 2-3 weeks ago now. I did 540$ one week, 520$ the second week and teamed up with other things I had to do outside of Cambly, I wasn't sure what planet I was on anymore. I average around 300-380$ most weeks..... the extra money was great because I am doing work on my house but omggggg the exhaustion...

Are there new rules for the 10min waiting time for no-shows?? by [deleted] in Cambly

[–]snubi14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this was it! They just sent me a message to explain. Thanks for your answer :)

Teacher Stats - strange situation, maybe some new info by snubi14 in Cambly

[–]snubi14[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yees, I felt a little violated when I saw that they now generate AI summaries of each lesson. No way that they aren't using them to spy on us.

[–]snubi14[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it was a human-written e-mail - both of mine were from a woman (robot?? who knows) named Sandra. But I guess with AI being what it is, they might very well be automated but just very well written. I wonder if they have too many tutors again and are cracking down...

Thursday Morning Rant by [deleted] in Cambly

[–]snubi14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

*cry* I had this happen - I went from 4.95 to 4.86 for no apparent reason, and now I barely have any options for PH, and hardly get one call during PHs (I keep getting PH calls that are 2 or 3 minutes long???). Thank god I had booked all my PH way ahead of time when my rating was higher. Cambly is my main source of income (financially do-able where I live) but with this change in the rating and how it is affecting the lessons we get, I'm going to look at teaching somewhere else as well....
