About Cambly

Edited on June 10th ’24 to update Payment day from Monday to Tuesday.

This is a quick highlight of the Cambly Tutor platform. If you’d like a more in depth view of Cambly and how to apply, please check out my post here.

Cambly is an online platform matching  English tutors with students. They pay  $0.17/min ($10.20/hour)  and $0.20/min ($12.00/hour) if you choose to work on Cambly Kids. You will get paid every Tuesday via online payment such as PayPal etc.

Please note. You only get paid for the time you actively talk with a student, not time waiting for a call. So for an hour spent at your computer if you spend 20 mins talking-to a student, you only get paid for that 20 minutes. NOTE: Cambly has something called a “PH” (Priority Hour) system where they put you on an available tutor list, BUT during this hour you have to be available for when a student calls you. This means you will be sitting in front of your PC for an hour and only making money IF you are on camera to a student. PRO TIP!!  Cambly will give you a sound notification when a student calls you, so as long as you are close to your PC and can hear it, you don’t have to be sitting staring at a blank screen for an hour. (watch a bit of TV, finish that book you’re reading, but make sure you are ready once that sound goes off!)

While you need no formal qualifications to apply to Cambly, this is not an “easy couple of bucks chatting while watching the TV” job.  You need to give this your full attention and have some basic knowledge of the workings of spoken English. Eg. Student:- Can you explain the tenses to me and why should I use ‘I have had’ instead of  ‘I am having’.
