How Much Can You Make Tutoring On Cambly Kids? My 6 month income as an online ESL Tutor
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 січ 2021
- I reached my 6 month milestone working for Cambly Kids, an online ESL tutoring platform! I share my income over the past 6 months to show how much I have made as an online English tutor on Cambly Kids. Please keep in mind that there may be many different factors which could make you earn more or less. This is just to share my experience!
The following links are affiliates
Tutor referral code (I make a small commission if you are accepted to Cambly and complete 10hrs of tutoring): www.cambly.com...
Kylien you are my favorite teacher in Cambly Kids. Because I liked English with you. I look forward to every lesson because of your smiling face. Because I love you so much. I would be very happy if you add Turkish subtitles to your UA-cam vlogs. Because I want to understand you and follow you fondly. student from Turkey ZEYNEP RANA
This is amazing!! I applied and I'm putting it out there that I will get accepted! I need to suppliment my income and I'm already an English teacher
Me too. We will get accepted.
DID U GET ACCEPTED ?
Did you get accepted
I just got accepted to tutor adults on Cambly. I retired not too long ago and look forward to it being a way I can almost "volunteer" to help others since the pay is not great. I must say I am really impressed with the amount of sheer effort you put into your work and know it must be quite tiring but rewarding too.Good for you and I hope that you will keep helping others in your unique manner. By the way, I think some of the best teachers do not need degrees or certificates. It is a matter of understanding the subject well and communicating this understanding to others.
Keep up the good work and wish me lluck with Cambly!
Yay! Congratulations! Thank you for the kind words! I filmed this video a year and a half ago and I'm still tutoring full time on Cambly Kids! :)
Wow you are so simplistic in your explanation. Thank you. You're so genuine too in your facts as well as realistic in your experiences. Thank you ❤🙏
Thank you for sharing so transparently. Yes, ideally, I like 10 back-to-back, but I can do 12 if needed. However, that many can be a little exhausting.
I agree! I used to do 10 but upped it to 12. Although after 3yrs I think I’ve damaged my voice as it’s usually gone after a few days 🙈
I've been with Cambly 2 weeks now and love it. I have worked for and been recruited by companies that pay more. Some are so controlling and limited. You spend your teaching time worried if gave enough rewards, used all the gizmos on the platform etc. It really affects your teaching. I love the freedom and the variety of students. The pay is not the best. However, the flexibty and experience supercedes that. I am still in brick and mortar school until June 8, then I am done! Not going back. Planning on making Cambly my job.
Wooo! I agree! I quit b&m after C19 lockdown and I’d have been full time on Cambly for 3yrs this summer! I am a part time travel writer too, so it gives me the flexibility to do that too…so Cambly is not my only income, it made up 65% last year though!
I honestly want this to be my career. I hate teaching in the classroom.
This video is really informative, thank you so much!
Thank you! I'm now 4yrs into working at Cambly and it's still consistent for me as a Cambly Kids tutor :)
@@kylieneuhaus9025 That's good to know, I'm just getting started. I'm hoping to teach my first lessons today! Do you have any advice for lesson resources if the students aren't enrolled in a course?
@@ACityILovegood luck! I am almost strictly CK only, so they always have material and most of my ‘extras’ are just child friendly stuff. The regular platform does have materials you can use in a library. But for the most part Engoo is good to screen share :)
@@Betweenengland thank you very much!
Thank you so much! You re honest and real , helped me to know what to expect of Cambly .
Definitely contacting you for extra Q&A !
Thanks! Sure thing! I’ve now been on the platform 2.5yrs and I’m still fully booked making around $330 a week :)
@@Betweenengland How many hours do you put in per week to make $330 per week?
@@honeybeejourney hello! 30hrs. 6hrs a day Monday to Friday.
Very helpful! Thank you so much!
You're a total pro thanks for the video.
I love how you explained cambly. I'm very much excited to apply with this platform CAMBLY. For me the salary you've earned were totally high for me. Our country like earning 1 dollar per hour and it's quite exhausting because we must have 8-10 hours and sometimes we didn't get a fully booked classes and if you were us you are going to cry because it's quiet exhausting. Hopefully, if I earned money to buy a laptop for my future plan to teach in Cambly I'll stop this ESL job that I'm working right now and then I won't expend fare like half of I earned in a day was deducted. Yeahh but still keep fighting!!!
Oh wow! I wish you all the best! In the UK the cost of living is very high and this is actually less than the minimum wage set by the government 🙈
@@Betweenengland thanks for your quick response Ms. Exquisite woman, hopefully, I will pass the CAMBLY and my pleasure is all to God!!!
Hi Kylie, thanks for sharing. I have a question about taxes. I recognize you are located in the UK and so taxes would be different with the US, but how much did you need to pay at the end of the year? You said your hourly rate was about 8pounds an hour, what would you estimate that would be with taxes taken out? Thanks for your help! I'm signed up but a bit reluctant to start if in the end the hourly rate is so low.
Due to my crazy circumstances last year (the uk tax year running April to April and me starting as self employed in July...midway through the tax year), I ended up paying no tax on the $10000 I claimed. In the UK we can earn nearly £13,000 before we have to pay tax. I voluntarily paid £100 for my national insurance (which contributes towards healthcare and pension) but that’s it. I just think that I’m also spending zero in commuting costs which saves money too.
@@Betweenengland Thank you so much, this helps a lot. Cheers!
Adds to a pension and pays the bills. Without office politics, commuting as you say. Also no classroom management and toxic bosses scrutinising you every 3 months. No lesson planning time. Lots of advantages . In a TEFL School higher pay but you’re having to manage 20+ students per class , write up reports, mark homework for which you’re not paid.
Pretty much! I worked in schools for 7 years so it’s nice to have 1-1 classes!
Good afternoon Kylie. Thank you for this video. Is there any chance you could refresh the TEFL certificate link please? It looks like it has gone out of date. Cheers
Hello! Thank you for the message. Yes that link no longer exists anymore, thank you for pointing that out, I have removed it. Here is the link but it's not that price anymore: internationalopenacademy.com/products/advanced-120-tefl-course
@@Betweenengland Thank you very much for the reply Kylie. Hope you are well, have a nice day.
Hi, I am from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 and I am very interested Cambly Kids. I wonder if this will work as my time difference will be my dilemma 🙏
Cambly is 24/7 so if I was in that area of the world my current hours would be 4pm until 10.30pm. If you wanted to start earlier you might catch South America :)
are you going back to the states? I know green card holders can't stay out of usa for more than 6 months to a year or they lose green card.
Nope! I surrendered my Green Card back in December, I’m staying in the UK :)
And your employer is not paying you social security or holiday pay, or sick pay so you earned a lot less than the minimum. Minimum is generally paid to those in entry-level jobs with no qualifications or experience. Cambly pay 20c per min talk time. You can probably earn more working at Mc Donalds.
Your right, I could earn more in McDonald’s but I wouldn’t have the job satisfaction, freedom and work life balance that working on CK gives me. A lot of people doing it are stay at home mum’s etc. When I was living in the US and working in an elementary school my annual income was a lot less than my Cambly income. I wasn’t paid any holiday...the 12 weeks a year that school was closed was unpaid, I had to pay to commute and drive to the school, I had to pay $500 a month in health insurance etc. Now I’m back in the UK and working from home it’s great. I can technically teach from anywhere if I wanted to. We also don’t pay tax in the UK unless we reach $17500. I also have a blog which makes up the rest of my income so that pays for my time off as that’s a passive income but I understand that not others have that.
How much does Macdonald pay in your countries because compared to where I stay I think Cambly pays way more than MacD
This sounds really good, on average how much a month in a pounds would we get if we did like 3hrs a day? for 5days a week?
Hello! it would be about £500 a month :)
Do they come with lesson plans or do we have to do that?
Yes they come with lesson plans! It’s good to have some fun websites to share just in case you finish early and in answer to the other question, yes on average I make $12ph 😊
Hi Kylie , How to start this biz and what devices are you using to teach the people?
Hello, I tutor on a platform called Cambly (there's a link in the video description if you are interested) and I use a laptop to teach on :)
Great video.
I applied 11 days ago but still under review, don't know why, by the way if you tell me how to get the referral number?thanks in advance
Hello! Good luck! My referral code? There’s a link in the video description :) Cambly Kids is supply and demand so they only take on new tutors when there is a need. Right now with the shake up with Chinese companies and kids returning to school, it’s a bit ‘slow’ at the moment for some tutors.
@@Betweenengland thanks Kylie .
Do you have to pay tax
where can I get tefl accredited certificate that is not so expensive
I used International Open Academy for $19 but my discount link has expired. If you google you may be able to find one that still works to get that price 😊
Sign up for Tefl but do not purchase yet. My experience was that they started to send me discounted offers on all the courses. They also have January sales but I assume you are keen to start sooner rather than later.
Kylie what can I do to use your referral code? ..... I am already ¾ way through doing my application. I should be doing the video this week once my headset arrives
Hello! There may be a box on the application form? In which case you can use the code: KYLIE213 but the link that was in the description may have a cookie code, so just be clicking on it may have activated it as such! I'm not 100% sure though! Thank you :)
Trying to see if this is right for me. I have a full time job during the week. I was looking for something one or two days a week, depending on what else I need to do that day, clean my house/run errands, etc. Now I'm unsure since you said we need to be consistent with our time slots. =/
Hello! I find that to get reliable and consistent regulars it’s best to have similar times and days, especially if you want it as a full time job (like I use it for) but you don’t have to do this! You can open slots whenever you want but it may just be different students you see each lesson as some, like yourself, prefer to have lessons when they have time rather than a set routine. My schedule is set to 24hr notice, so if I have an open slot it has to be booked more than 24hrs in advance. The smallest is 6hrs in advance, for example you may wake up in the morning and decide to open some evening slots, but you will have to consider the time zones...such as some evening slots may catch Korean mornings for example, but 6hrs in advance would put them in bed so they won’t be booking lessons. They have more chance of filling the further in advance you can open them, for example opening them on the Sunday for a Wednesday and Thursday, the following week you might open Tuesday and Friday. It’s up to you! There’s also Priority Hours where Cambly Kids can book 2hrs in advance but then you may also have to teach adults during this time. PH is also dependent on rates and tutor demand, so they aren’t always available unless you reserve them up to 3 weeks in advance.
@@Betweenengland Thank you so much for the thorough response! I could work with the 24 hr notice. I think I will try it and see how I like it! =)
@@laurarox80 No problem! Good luck! There's nothing to lose, they don't tie you in to a contract or anything :)
Hello dear, I am from India, and I also want to teach English in cambly
Hello, the best thing to do would be to go through the application process and see what happens. Good luck!
Hi there, thanks for your great video. I just wanted to to find out if you tutor on Cambly full time.
Thank you! I do yes. Well I do 30hrs. The demand for me to open more is there so I could do more but I do get exhausted! (I make up my hours/income with a couple of websites I run).
@@Betweenengland Wow, so it is possible to do it full time. I want to work towards that as well. Thanks so much for responding and for making such videos. Subscribed and Watching from East Africa :).
Mam please try engoo
I hear they pay for no shows!
Do I have to know Literature, punctuation, grammar, etc? Or could I just speak it to them?
I mainly teach 5-6yr olds...so it’s very much teaching phonics, letters, cat, hat, rat type English. Some of the higher levels look a little into grammar but it’s aimed at beginners and very easy to flick through and remind yourself. It focuses more on conversational English. I have 7yrs experience in PreK so that’s my ‘specialty’. I think on the adult side you can sometimes get more grammar type questions, but not so much on CK :)
@@Betweenengland OMG thanks for the response. Really informative! Dropped a like.
I'm about to register with cambly, I'm not a teacher but I want to try it out bcos I need d extra income
It says I shud upload an introduction video, but I Don't know what to say in the video
And I will to ask if I can tutor with my kids around cos I'm a mum
Hello, that's OK, a lot of people aren't teachers! My intro video is around 50 seconds long. I just say my name, where I'm from, my experience and how I can help their child learn (you can mention that you have child too). Keep in mind that both the parents and the students may watch the video so make it 'fun' and engaging. You won't be able to tutor with your kids in the background. You'll have to make sure you are in a quiet space and that you shouldn't be disturbed while teaching (you can be told off by Cambly if they interrupt lessons and it's not fair on the person paying you to teach them). It says this in the tutor guide.
Should I set my status to invisible when I finish work for the day ? Thx
Hello! If you are just working with reservations it will usually automatically switch you to invisible. It will also make you visible to the reservation without you needing to become visible too :)
Hello, I live in Bangladesh. I want to be teacher of cambly. Therefore, what do I need although I can't speak like native....
Hello! I believe their only requirement is that you have to be a native speaker :)
Hi teacher do you work on weekends? And do you work during the day or or at night ?
Hello, no I only work weekdays and during the day but a lot of other teachers say the weekends are busier. At the moment McDonald’s and Cambly Kids pay about the same but minimum wage in the UK is going up next year so they McDonald’s will be paying about £1 more an hour compared to Cambly :)
I’ve applied for Cambly Kids and I keep getting rejected lol
Oh! Did they give you any feedback? It’s quite slow at the moment...a lot of tutors are saying their slots aren’t filling right now so that might be why! 🙈
Hi Kylie. Can you choose your students ie male or female?
Hmm good question. If you sign up for a priority hour which could be adults or kids, you are expected to answer every call that comes your way so you could have both. My experience is with kids so I don’t do these particular hours because I’m not great teaching adults! With the kids course, they book and choose you. I guess you could write it in your profile but there’s no guarantee that they will read your profile. I am a girl and I find that many of my students are girls, there are just a handful of my regulars that are boys. You can cancel a booking if you don’t think you are a good fit, but too many cancellations can result in being told off by Cambly. When you open your schedule you are saying you are available so if you start cancelling it then looks bad! From the students end as soon as the reserve a spot, it’s theirs and confirmed, regardless of if you ‘accept’ it. Hope this helps!
Hey what would you say are companies that pay more?
I would never go back to a classroom now either 🙈 There are more companies but the higher paid ones require you to create your own curriculum, such as Outschooled. Other companies with curriculum provided are Palfish and VIP kid but they have gone through a rough patch as they are a mainly Chinese base but China changed the rules, so they are having to transition to a global market, so those are slow at the moment.
Do they pay for priority hours if we pre schedule it?
For priority hours you get a guaranteed pay of 15 minutes (30 minutes if you sign up to a peak slot). However Cambly Kids can only reserve during a PH, so if they happen to not turn up you are expected to still answer every call that comes your way during the priority hour and it’s mainly adults.
How about paying a living wage?
With the current exchange rate I am earning the minimum wage. I think of it as I have no commuting costs and that time that you may spend travelling to and from a job (which is unpaid), is now my free time to do what I want, so it kind of levels out. But I agree, a pay rise would be nice.
Hi sweetie
Is it available in Philippines?
I do have a student in the Philippines. I believe they have to use a VPN though :)
Can Cambly give payment through Payoneer instead of Paypal?
Nope, unfortunately Paypal only.
@@Betweenengland
Thanks sis, I just love your videos as you're so helpful and explain everything wisely. But I'm wondering, can I teach through mobile phone and without using computer or laptop?
@@DessertArcadia Unfortunately you can only teach from a computer or a laptop
Can I ask do you have to
pay tax?
It depends on your country and the tax free allowance, but yes, I personally pay tax. I am also a travel blogger and with that income it pushes me well over the allowance. You may need to still register with the government and declare the earnings even if you don’t reach the tax bracket. With the US and the U.K. anything over $600/£600 (if I remember correctly) needs to be declared, but in the U.K. it’s 5 figures before you pay tax (I can’t remember the exact amount).
Is tax deducted automatically
Nope. Depending on where you live, you may not have to pay tax if you don't meet the minimum. In the UK, it's almost £14,000 before you pay tax.
@@Betweenenglandthanks ❤
How many hours perday do you work?
Hey! 6hrs a day (5 days a week)
How has it been going since you made this video?
I have kept the same hours so I’m still making the same. Approx $320 a week which works out around $1300 a month. There’s definitely the option to do more hours, I’ve been receiving more messages recently asking me to extend because I’m fully booked and people want to reserve!
That's awesome. I've been teaching in Korea for 12 years. But next year I might go back to the USA. I'm hoping to teach online and I really like Camblys flexibility.
Your videos are great by the way.
The flexibility is definitely a huge plus! In the UK it’s less than minimum wage, but the flexibility is amazing.
@@renaes2008 can you not teach online in Korea?
@@Hey_Its_Mikki I can and I do, but I want to get some experience teaching students from other countries.
Can I teach math there?
Not on the kids side no. There are maths and counting activities, I often use counting games to encourage forming sentences but the majority is conversation based. You could always try the adult side and advertise that you specialise in maths, you might get someone looking for that type of direction?
Is 27 seconds for an intro vid too short?
Hmm I think mine is about 40 seconds. As long as you feel you’ve got everything across that you want to, sometimes short and sweet works fine :) With the Intro video you are able to change that as often as you want. So you could always try it and if you’re not having a lot of luck attracting students upload another one at a later date!
@@Betweenengland i haven't been accepted yet. Only applied yesterday!
@@Betweenengland my demo was 8 mins 🤦🏻♀️ hope that's okay!
@@emiloubooks6708 mine was about 8 minutes too if I remember rightly! Definitely over the 3-5 minutes! Good luck!
