As an iTalki teacher, I'd say that being able to set my own rate is a major plus. Even if I were earning less than another platform, I enjoy this freedom. With that said, it's not the be all end all, but it's a plus. Cheers for the video!
I am applying to work for Cambly. I have spent my lifetime writing- first for print and radio, then as a communications officer in various Canadian government departments. Now I have retired and I was disappointed when you stated that you get what you pay for. I tend to disagree as I for one chose Cambly for its affordability and quality. Many retired professionals who choose to work after retirement are doing it less for the money and more to help others. I would like to know that I can help people who really need to improve their English but cannot afford to pay very much because their currency conversion precludes that. Just a thought!
That's great! I think Cambly is great for those that are retired. I keep telling my dad he should do it. I'm in a similar position. I mostly did Cambly as a hobby. I love teaching people, and am happy to do so for the low wage that Cambly pays. Unfortunately, many teachers that need to do it for a job (and live in the UK or US - where the cost of living is higher) cannot live off a Cambly wage. Cambly also has one of the lowest requirements to become a teacher. Even the 'Professional Teachers' will often just have a TEFL that they got from the internet after doing a 2 hour course. In my experience, Cambly is great for improving your conversational English. But many other platforms will offer teachers at a higher price that will spend time preparing bespoke lessons for their students. I hope you enjoy working on Cambly. I really enjoy it, and you'll find meet some really nice students.
i dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost my account password. I would love any assistance you can give me!
@Nicolas Torin i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
thank you for comparing, I met Cambly ads recently. I haven't understood their payment model at the beginning. I am using italic but for general conversation practice. Not sure about subscription model, it puts some obligations to plan your exercises.
Cambly is advertised to the customer as a service where you will be taught English. To the teachers they advertise that it is just for customers to practice their English and not really be taught. So it causes confusion as they give different messages.
Yes, I'd agree. I have had some students that didn't speak a word of English. It is really hard to teach them from the beginning. Cambly provides an 'English 101' course for absolute beginners, but many of them still struggle with this. I'd always recommend that students have at least a basic understanding of English before signing up to one of these tutor services. Intermediate students will certainly benefit the most from these services.
@@keystoneenglish8423, what the students want is to CONVERSE. Most of those you hear here speaking Spanish are doing MONOLOGUES. To speak another language you need to know how language works. Once you know THAT, then all the apps REALLY work!

Some tutors started conversation on Cambly when their kids played loudly nearby. They didn't event try to find a quiet place. It's too hard for me to find a tutor I want to study with on Cambly. I'm ready to pay more for a better quality and I can do that on italki.
Yes I've seen that happen on a few platforms, it's not just limited to Cambly. Unfortunately, because of the pandemic, many teachers must look after their own children while continuing to teach. It's not an ideal situation. Though I do think that you get what you pay for, so if you want a more professional lesson, it may be better to try a platform like italki where you can pay more for a teacher that can create bespoke lessons for you.
@@keystoneenglish8423 If I can't hear a person at all I don't get what I pay for. It's not even a conversation. Cambly really has it's cons. One of them is quality of lessons.
@@zlatagordenko1441 It's not really meant for lessons. The company advertises very different to the customer than to the tutors. They accept anyone regardless of qualification and tell us its just for conversations and practice not really giving actual lessons. So the customer expects different from what the tutor is told and the pay is very low. Any good teacher could easily make much more elsewhere so its just a case of supply and demand.
Hola. Quisiera decirte que tu comentario "en Italki recibes lo que pagas. Si pagas precios bajos a calidad es baja y lo contrario". Esto es una gran mentira. Es algo muy lejano a la realidad. Es cierto que tienes la opción de elegir entre tutores y profesores. Dentro de la categoría de profesores encuentras variedad de precios debido a que si eres nuevo, debes sacrificar dinero para tener estudiantes rápidamente. Es la ley de la oferta y la demanda. Todo el mundo quiere una clase excelente al menor precio posible. Por eso algunos profesores bajan su precio mas no su calidad de enseñanza. Estas hablando de ética profesional. Tus comentarios son atrevidos, irrespetuosos y falsos. Si deseas poder leer mi comentario, tomate la molestia de traducir con google o tomar clases de español en Italki.
Yes, 'which is better' is fine. You can say 'which is best' or 'which is better'. Both are in common usage. Though I chose 'which is best' because that works better on the youtube algorithm.
I would love to learn English through italki but the issue comes when I want to make payments through PayPal. I don't know how to make payments that's my big problem.Anyone who can assist will be so helpful to me 🙏
Xcuse me, Gotta a question, what level of English you consider the people must have to have so they can understand this speech you just gave? please answer me, THx
Здравствуйте. Не могу понять, то я приложение скачал или нет. В курсе изучение иностранных языков Бессонова рекомендовали скачать это приложение.

Hi David, I'd like to add one detail about iTalki. Many professors leave in their portfolio that they offer a homework. Only a few of them provide it in practice. I don't know how to fix it ... I've been taking lessons for my Son 5,8 years old 1 year already. I guess that is widespread tricky business strategy to leave nothing for students after himself.
Thanks for sharing. That's interesting. On Cambly I wouldn't expect tutors to set homework, since they are certainly not paid enough to do so. But on italki, where tutors can set higher rates, I would certainly expect them to be willing to create adaptive learning plans for students, and to set basic homework assignments if asked to do so.
@@ants_garden You have to realise Cambly pays less than minimum wage for a lot of English speaking countries so you get what you pay for. Most tutors could earn more working at McDonald's than working there. It's really a part time moneymaker for people with other jobs. It's unfortunate but an actual English teacher makes multiple times more money. A lot of tutors are just students or other ordinary people.
italki is perhaps the more flexible of the two for payment. With italki you can pay for just one individual lesson with a tutor to see if you like the lesson. So if you are not sure if you would like this online style of learning English, perhaps you can book a trial lesson with a teacher on italki - usually they only cost around £4 for 30 minutes.
Hello teacher, Can you tell us about the process after being accepted in italki and cambly and signing the contract. Was it automatic or did you go to a certain place to sign it and what are its terms ? Are they easy to follow or not?
hey hi hows it going.? I have a question please answer whenever you see this "You mentioned that students usually talk to different tutors to get the understanding of he accents on cambly". So my question Can I talk to as many tutors as I can with the same fees? or Do I have to pay for every teacher every time? or Is there any other thing which you can share. For example if I pay 40$/month. in this 40$ can I talk to as many teacher as I can? Please share your valuable feedback since I am trying to figure out which app should I use to get my speaking skills better for my upcoming job interviews. Thanks
You pay for a certain amount of time. In that amount of time, you are allowed to speak to as many tutors as you can. Is that clear, or do I need to explain more?
@@haroldcampbell3337 this "certain amount" is basically the amount which I will have to give per month. And in the month's expense I can talk to as many tutors as I can. Correct? Is this what you are saying.? Thanks in advance.
Your english is so understandable for begginers like me 👍🏻👍🏻

What's better for speaking IELTS for foreign students?

That's a brilliant video I didn't know that, this kind of platforms are exist 😧 thank you so much ❤️
Happy to help!
I wonder this channel only have 40 subscribers
The title should be "Which is better?",because there are just two objects to compare to each other.
Yes, 'which is better' is fine. You can say 'which is best' or 'which is better'. Both are in common usage. Though I chose 'which is best' because that works better on the youtube algorithm.
thanks a lot for giving these imfortant information
Do you have to have a lesson plan and if so how do you know what subject the student need? Or is it an open conversation?
