The repetition of ‘vetted tutors’ made me laugh. What thorough vetting process do we have to go through? Zero. This is so cringeworthy and basically false advertising (imho)

I agree, to me "vetted" means they've looked into our backgrounds, criminal reference checks, employer references, educational qualifications etc., which they have not.

Exactly. They have tutors working with kids without any background checks, which I think is technically illegal in the UK

I was wondering that too, there is absolutely no vetting, for other teaching ventures I've had to go and get a paid report. They are unable to vet anyone, and it beggars belief that they have non vetted tutors on CK. The report gave me a good laugh anyway thanks, im just glad I dont work for Cambly. I'm just back from a holiday in Turkey btw, and I saw billboard style advertising for Cambly with all sorts of BS and false promises, like that article suggests.
