Cambly Application Tips 

Hey, teachers!

Now that you have started your application to Cambly, we wanted to give you some extra tips so that you can get hired and start teaching ASAP!

The first step is creating an account with your preferred email address and selecting your home country. Then, you’ll have the option to apply for Cambly (adults) or Cambly Kids (children). Don’t worry, you can apply for both and return to the other after! 


Step 1 

Cambly Profile

This information will be visible to the Cambly onboarding team and students when you are approved as a tutor! 

Here’s a fantastic video from Teacher Molly that takes you through the entire process of completing your profile:

 
 
 
 

Tips for this section: 

  • Upload a high-quality profile picture 

  •  Fill in all information (this helps students get to know you before booking a class!)

  • The introduction video is the most important 

Be sure to check out this video from Lynn at Cambly where she shows you all the things you should avoid in your intro video:

 
 
 
 

Tips for The Introduction Video: 

  • Speak as you would to potential students, this video will live on your profile!

  • Cambly doesn’t have an interview process, so this is the best way for the onboarding team to get to know you! 

  • The video must be 1-3 minutes long 

  • Record in a quiet, clean environment 

  • Have fun and be professional! 

Step 2 

Supplemental Questions 

Tell Cambly how you heard about them (Online English Teaching) and explain why you’re interested in becoming a tutor! Your reasons could be that you love meeting new people, learning about new cultures, or anything that comes to mind. 


Step 3 

Connection Test

Video and audio quality is essential for students to have a productive English lesson. The platform is testing your internet connection, audio, and video quality here. It will let you know if either of these needs to be improved and gives you unlimited chances to test! 


Some tips:

  • Use a headset or earphones for improved audio quality. Everything from wired earphones to heavy-duty headphones, and AirPods work great. 

  • Ensure you have good lighting (the room is not too dark) 


Step 4

Submit your application!

And you’re all done! A member of the Cambly team will now review your application. The typical approval time is about 4-7 days. Cambly will send you an email when you’re approved! Good luck!
