As the pandemic locked doors of markets, factories, offices, schools, and universities across the globe, there was a massive upsurge in the traffic of online learning platforms. More and more people of all age groups were looking forward to engaging in meaningful learning. On the other hand, the entrepreneurs also sprang up to exploit this opportunity and launched online platforms to fill in the gaps created by shutting down of educational institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While making it possible for the learners to continue their studies or acquire new skills without leaving their homes, it also empowered the owners of online learning platforms to earn huge revenue. Out of the many online teaching platforms like Verbling, SkimaTalk, Preply<\/a>, Spitball, and iTalki, Cambly was also perfectly placed to set up this new challenge. This easy-to-use platform provides English learners on-demand access to English tutors over video chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cambly was founded in 2012 by Kevin Law and Sameer Shariff with an aim to provide an English learning platform. Soon after its launch, Cambly joined the Y combinator program in 2015 and raised the first round of seed funding which helped it to establish itself as a global-first business. In a very short span of time, the platform gained huge popularity which can be estimated by the number of countries it is being used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Cambly Works<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The working of Cambly is quite different from other language learning platforms. Cambly\u2019s in-app chat platform does all the work. The student who has signed in just needs to have a conversation with a native speaker. For tutors, it is a log-in-and-talk style platform. The simple working of Cambly can be explained as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Tutors log in and mark themselves available for tutoring.<\/li>
  • Tutors are then put into a queue from where learners choose their tutor.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Cambly does not require tutors to schedule the classes in advance. Tutors have complete control of when they work. One important point to note is that tutors do not get the call as soon as they log in. Getting a call depends on a number of factors such as call rush, demand at the time tutor logs in, and luck. The chances of tutors being on a call are around 50% of the time logged in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Some exceptions to the log-in-and-talk system are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • Priority Hours:<\/strong> This is something Cambly has introduced to have more teachers available when demand is high. Tutors can sign up to be active during those hours in advance and can receive more calls. Many times Cambly offers to pay guaranteed incentives for signing up for priority hours.<\/li>
    • Reservations:<\/strong> Tutors who wish to have a more stable schedule can open up reservation slots and get more teaching hours. This way learners can book lessons with the tutors in advance.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      How Cambly Earns Money<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

      Cambly\u2019s main source of income is the subscription fees it charges from the learners to access the platform. The subscription plans are quite flexible where learners can choose their weekly agenda, i.e. how many minutes in a day and how many days in a week they want to talk to a tutor. There is also an option to select the number of months for which the learners wish to buy the subscription i.e<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      • Month<\/li>
      • Quarter<\/li>
      • Semester<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        After selecting the weekly agenda and number of months, the platform calculates the total amount and after making the payment, the learner can access the platform. Subscribed learners can talk to any tutor listed on the platforms and can even access the pre-uploaded courses on the platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        What Makes Cambly a Popular English Teaching Platform<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

        • Flexible Subscription Plans:<\/strong> Cambly has flexible subscription plans and the amount depends on how often & for how long you want to have classes. If the learners decide to practice English for a longer period of time, they can also avail the discounts offered by Cambly.<\/li>
        • Multiple Ways to Take Lesson:<\/strong> Cambly offers different methods to take lessons on the platform.
          • Any available tutor can be contacted by clicking the \u201cPractice English\u201d<\/strong> button on the home page and a lesson with the tutor will start immediately.<\/li>
          • Enrolling in a Cambly course and clicking the \u201cStart Lesson\u201d button will connect to a tutor and start the lesson immediately.<\/li>
          • Browsing the online tutors\u2019 page and clicking the \u201ccall\u201d button on a tutor\u2019s profile will immediately start the lesson.<\/li>
          • Cambly also allows learners to schedule a lesson in advance at a specific time and with a specific tutor.<\/li><\/ul><\/li>
          • Automatic Translation Tool:<\/strong> To make it easier for beginner students to chat with native English speakers, Cambly\u2019s in-session text chat automatically translates between English and their native language. It makes it easier for both the tutor and learner to communicate. <\/li>
          • Video Recording:<\/strong> Learners can record the video lessons and rewatch those videos for comprehension. Learners who want to learn at their own pace find it useful to solidify new concepts and vocabulary words.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
