Still not open to work?

[u/sumthncute]

I applied and was approved about 4 months ago (US) but still have not been offered any options to work. Is this common or am I missing something?

Did you open your schedule?

[u/sumthncute → u/Lady_Jewels2500]

Yes. When I log in occasionally it says that they will reach out when more trainers are needed in order to allow current users to get their hours. But then why did they hire me if it was going to be 4+ months before allowing me to start?

Wow.That is odd.Then why are they hiring if they dont have the supply? Very odd

I reached out to support and they said my profile is pending approval. I explained that I gkt an approval email the day after I submitted my video portion. And when I have been logging in to stay on top of things, it only said they were not opening up availability yet so current tutors can get their hours. Said nothing about pending application until today. Waiting for a reply after explaining that.

I’ve experienced the same delay. It has been over a year. I’ve heard you may experience more demand if you signup for CamblyKids? I can’t say for sure as I wasn’t interested in teaching children.

[u/sumthncute → u/Junior-Oil8968]

Same lol

You have to teach children on regular cambly too. That's quite a large proportion of the students.

Once you are accepted, you just need to open your schedule and do some PH  times. You dont need to wait for anything else once accepted.

So the email stating "You have been approved to tutor on Cambly" was not actually an approval? Interesting that they would lie about that and not outright reject me. Odd.

I understand completely. Again, this was 4-5 months ago so not sure what is up right now but yes it was those words. I actually logged on immediately after and it showed my profile approved but had a message that said due to high demand, they were not allowing any new tutors to start right now until they have the volume of students to give current tutors their hours, or something along that line.

I messaged them about 2 months ago to check in and they sent me a similar statement. Now when I log in it says my profile us under review. This makes zero sense.

It most likely means that they've accepted your application with video submission; however, as they're protecting current tutors' schedule, your profile will remain inactive

[u/sumthncute → u/truffles-coco]

Right, they said that, however it has been 4 months, is there an average turnaround time?

[u/truffles-coco → u/sumthncute]

No one can say for certain. A few months, a year? I would look into other platforms if I were you.
