Pros

really nice coworkers and and the idea behind the company is a good one however it is exceptionally poorly implimented

Cons

Complete waste off time at the moment as their are virtually no students my weekly earnings have dropped from $200 to $40 in the last two months. They have no support or training for the tutors and have exceptionally poor teaching materials. Their entire businesses model is to tempt thousands of new students every quarter with a free trial virtually none of them realise its a paid for service after the trial let alone how expensive it is and maybe if their lucky 0.1% might buy a subscription for every call you do get over 90% of them will be those 5 minute free trials and your meant to just give a sales pitch its not a real teaching establishment. But since we have no teaching materials of any kind its super rare that a student stays any length of time they have a great community and some wonderful people but at the moment Cambly is just is not worth it. And it is not what is advertised as your not an English tutor your a salesman

Pros

Work from home would be all I can say.

Cons

You have to spend a lot of time online, waiting for a student. They give potential students a free 5 minutes, they are mostly unsuitable as students, as some English is required to develop. They can be kids messing about, or even men in bed!! If there is a poor connection, you can get blocked from work for 3 days, even when it is NOT your fault! Cambly do not have any other interest in making money, in my opinion. So tutors are exploited and some students too!
