Pros

The quality of students is great. I’ve met many interesting people who want to improve their English. Cambly provides the students so tutors can just focus on teaching. Most lessons are conversational but I do have to prep for long term students who want more exercises. Great flexibility to work any hours you want.

Cons

The pay is dismal, below minimum wage in the US, they don’t care if tutors have legitimate connection problems, it’s always our fault. Too many free trial students who are not serious about learning and waste tutors’ time.

Pros

Very flexible schedule (you create your own), can easily cancel classes without too much of a penalty (make every student that you like a "regular" student so that if you get penalized...only regulars can book you...you have a huge pool of regulars), Cambly provides lessons, you can use almost any website as long as you don't need to share login information, it's fun and easy, many students become like friends, you can learn about different countries, cultures, and languages

Cons

The pay. It has never increased in the 14 years that Cambly has been in business. They are starting to offer a new program called "Cambly Pro" where you can make $15 an hour, but you have to apply to be a tutor for it and you could be denied. You have to have a 99% rating for 3 months to even be considered. If, like me, you are open to all students (and not just your regular students that you have become friends with), your rating can vary widely. No matter how good of a tutor you are, you will not be everyone's cup of tea. Also, Cambly does not allow tutors to teach in some states in the U.S. due to labor laws.
