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

The students are generally very committed and self motivated.

Cons

Where to begin? I have a Masters and am a top rated tutor but am treated like an idiot by management. The policies are funny. They rely on algorythms to run their tutoring practice. Tutors who make the business run are never listened to. The system can perceive you as offline and cancel you classes just because. There is no recourse once the algorythm has determined it. Ludicrous. The pay is hilarious too. If you have regular students and schedule them regularly if a student doesn’t show up you lose that time completely. You’re only paid for 10 mins. If you need help good luck. You can wait for weeks.
