Speechie Peachy ... Maybe it's the reverse? One or the other. Anyway, she is a speech therapist who really breaks down how to make certain sounds in English. She will even show you exactly where the tongue goes or how the throat is positioned. This is really great for students who are trying to make an English sound that does not exist in the native language they have. I have used this 100 times for East Asian students who don't have L at the end of words. It has helped many students stop substituting w or r.
Thank you so much😊 These resources are a blessing for new teachers and all teachers in general.
This is a "gold mine" for me. Thanks.
THANK YOU so much.....invaluable info!
Brilliant! Exactly what I needed to raise my confidence. Thank you! ❤
So glad! Thank you for watching 😍
Thank you🎉i will use them all i feel more comfortable
This was a well done video and I've been an ESL Teacher for 14 years and I learnt a lot from you. I am also very keen on using videos and activities for my students, so I understood when you said you love using such 'cause it's a great way to have students hear another voice and accent. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge! 🤩
Thanks so much for your feedback and for the kind words!
Thank you! I applied yesterday with Cambly, I just got accepted today! I am a retired American teacher living in Sydney, Australia, but I missed teaching, so I thought I'd give this a try. I am still waiting for my application to be reviewed for Cambly Kids, though. Some of these sites I know about from teaching in the USA, but some are new, so I really appreciate you making this video!
Welcome aboard, Noel! We are happy you're here and glad the video is helpful! Happy tutoring 😊
Thank you so much for this information. My absolute resource is Unite for Literacy. My kids love to read free books. I do this at the end of my classes and the kids can't wait.
I love this suggestion! Thank you so much for sharing 😍 Here is the link for anyone interested: www.uniteforliteracy.com/
It couldn't have been more helpful, thanks a bunch .
extreme helpful and you got straight to the point with not much blabber (if you did they were funny enough not to notice because I was too busy laughing)🤗 Thankyou again for this video, I really appreciate you!
Thank you!

Yay! We're happy we could help 😃
Lots of the other materials on Engoo are also very useful, but sometimes overlooked.
Yes I use a lot of different Engoo materials.
Also, I just want to say thank you. I got hired on by Cambly months ago but I not taught yet because I am terrified of not knowing how to use the classroom and unfortunately I don't see any way to do a practice round with a teacher So I can be comfortable using the classroom. This helps me be a little less terrified
Hi and welcome! There are a few things that could help you become a bit more comfortable. First, every tutor receives free student minutes so they can call another tutor. Ask questions, get advice, have a look around! Second, tutors can enter the new classroom a few minutes early if they wish, just to get an idea of the layout and controls. This really helps with our confidence level before a student arrives. Third, although some features have been updated since this video was released, it should give you an idea of what to expect: czcams.com/video/KRSIVmld5H0/video.html I hope this helps and we're always here if you need a hand. Happy tutoring!
@@CamblyTutors thank you!
Cambly has just added an option to explore the classroom for new teachers. However just go for it. I figured it out a long the way. Just do so with confidence and you will be fine
Those will make the class more interesting, thank you.
Glad you like them! 😊
@@CamblyTutors after cambly reviews the demo and they wanted more from it will the prospective tutor be informed about this or them will just say it's a fail right away
These are awesome! Thank you! I have a question. How do you open the one about games on the platform? Do you ask them to open a new tab, or do you do it directly on the cambly platform? Im wondering how the can interact with it. Thanks.
Yes, I would like to know, also. Thanks!
YES is there a way to interact with websites when the student calls? I heard about some way but not sure how it works
Hi everyone! So, depending on what the activity is, some things you'll need to assist your student with by asking questions and helping them complete activities. For others, share your whole screen and be sure to share audio. If you need more tips, please check out Joel's video here: czcams.com/video/qLSHE6VYrZ4/video.html 😀
If you're showing an activity where your student needs to circle an answer, for example, ask them which one they choose so that you can perform that action. You may also want to share the link you are using for game pages so that you both can complete activities at the same time (although perhaps best for older CK students) Have fun! 😀
Hi, I am a novice teacher. I'd appreciate it if anyone suggested to me what I can use to teach a communication class 7th grades. I want a specific book to use its lessons.
Thank you. Do you share your screen with your students or download and forward these learning materials to them during the lesson?
Hi there, it really depends on which resource you are using. Stories/articles are great with screen share--sometimes games are easier if you share the link with students (as they cannot "draw" on your screen, for example) It's really up to you and what works best within your classes 😀
@@CamblyTutors thank you
Thanks so much for this. I'm looking for resources for my lessons. Do you know any websites which provide a package of readymade lessons?
For example - a series of ten presentations for IELTS, each presentation building on the last?
Hi! Are you a member of our FB group? Some of the tutors there may have materials they can share with you. There is also test prep material in the Cambly Library which may help 😀
Thank you very much.
If there are interactive games to doo with youth students, I will really appreciate have you ideas.
Hi there! Have you ever tried www.baamboozle.com/? Our tutors love their variety of games 😊
Awesome info. Thank you!!!! I have a question, how do you connect these lessons with your students online? I am not techie.
Hi Laura! You can save lessons/materials in your Saved Links section of the Cambly Library. You can then screen share with your student if needed. These videos will walk you through the process, step by step! czcams.com/video/SpNFBZabwIo/video.html czcams.com/video/qLSHE6VYrZ4/video.html
Laura I learned it is helpful to enlarge the web page you are sharing to about 150% so the student can see the material better.
HI , I am a new English teacher for Spain students who are intermediate in English and i lack materials and lesson plans. please can you refer me some? it will be really helpful.
I've got a question on TEDTalks... don't you find they are way to long to make them into a class? I try to keep videos no longer than 15 minutes (and even that can take me 3 or 4 one-hour classes) and after a while they start losing interest.
We agree that shorter videos are best. We also like encouraging students to watch what interests them and then have them tell tutors the details of the video/topic. It can really open up new vocabulary 🙂
I tried epic, but it is asking for an email address provided by my school at sign up. I'm teaching online, so seems kinda impossible to join. Did you find a way around that?
Hi Teacher James, the basic account is free to everyone without needing an educator account or school email address. I hope that helps!
@@CamblyTutors Oh, really.. Okay, I'll take a second look. Thanks for checking that out for me! Looks like such a useful website 👌🏻
Is there a site for teachers to meet like face book? Someone told me about it but I don't remember the name of the site
There sure is: you can join us on Cambly Corner on Facebook (Cambly Kids Corner if you are a kids tutor!) We hope to see you there 😀

Hi there, I am a new tefl graduate who is looking to work for Cambly. Would you have any advice for a beginner, please? 😁
Hello and congratulations of your TEFL achievement! There are many resources and tips out there (we love our blog post tutorblog.cambly.com/2021/11/17/how-to-be-an-effective-online-tutor/ and our video czcams.com/video/NjomfBhi7o8/video.html) but sometimes you just have to dive in and get your feet wet. Once you become a Cambly tutor, you'll find the CamFam to be pretty welcoming and helpful. If you have any specific concerns, let us know! We're here to help
Thank you for this very useful video.., However, it is showing here that ENGOO is not free?
Hi there! Students can pay for lessons on Engoo, but anyone can access the daily news articles for free. 🙂 Try using this link: engoo.com/app/daily-news
@@CamblyTutors Thank you.
Can you tell me how to use Epic for free? I do not see a free account options under plans. Thank you.
Hi there, if you do not have an educator account, it's possible to get 1 free resource per day by using your email. If you do not want to do that, our tutors highly recommend www.uniteforliteracy.com!
@CamblyTutors I don't mind using my email but can you offer instructions on how to sign up for that resource? I don't see how to accomplish it on their site. Do I still go in under educator?
If you do not have educator info, one can sign up under Parent. After inputting the required email/pw, you should be all set. Hope that helps!
How do you open a tab?
Hi Leigh! The Tutor Guide has all the info you need (including some step-by-step videos) Happy Tutoring 😀
Thanks a lot! ,🐱
Can I have the link of ENGLISH GRAMMAR
Hi there! All the links are under the video in the show notes. We hope they are useful! 😀
Thank you, these resources are fantastic but how do I use them on screenshare? If you open them up as a tab then the children can't interact with them. Also, when you open a tab, you are taken to another window and you can't see the student!
Hi Nicola! Some things you'll need to assist your student with by asking questions and helping them complete activities. For others, share your whole screen and be sure to share audio. If you need more tips, please check out Joel's video here: czcams.com/video/qLSHE6VYrZ4/video.html 😀
@@CamblyTutors Thank you for your reply. What things will I need? Also, if I share my whole screen will the child be able to interact with the screen?
Hi Nicola, a student can't interact with a page just because we share it. If you're sharing a video, singalong page, etc...then the tips in the previous comment work well. If you're showing an activity where your student needs to circle an answer, for example, ask them which one they choose so that you can perform that action. You may also want to share the link you are using for game pages so that you both can complete activities at the same time (although perhaps best for older CK students) Have fun! 😀
are those websites free or paid?
Hi! You may find a subscription option on Epic but one can access the basics without needing an educator account or school email address. I hope that helps!
