Pros

Very flexible schedule and they really care about the tutors. It's also very enjoyable meeting students from all over the world. You can also earn badges based on student ratings that can be featured on your profile to attract more students.

Cons

The pay is not very good and so far the pay never changes.

Pros

In my 1.5 years teaching on Cambly, I had over 60,000 minutes of talk time. I met over 3,000 students and for the most part enjoyed everyone. I had a 4.94 rating and was a super tutor. The relationships I built with my students were amazing.

Cons

I had weeks of reservations booked. I had a reservation that was to start in 2 hours. I randomly received an email 1 hour later saying I missed a reservation, which is impossible because I take a 2 hour lunch break. A few moments later I received another email saying my account was deactivated. Upon replying to the message trying to figure what happened, I received another email saying the decision was final. They gave me no warnings, no explanation as to what I did wrong and had no way of saying goodbye to my regular students, most of which I taught 5 days a week for more than a year. Everything is the tutors fault. Cambly thinks their system is perfect. One of my students was having issues connecting. They told him his internet is wasn’t fast enough. 5G is faster than the internet speed I was using. Instead of being a professional company and apologizing for the mistake, Cambly blames it on the paying student or the dime a dozen tutor. The pay is extremely low, they treat the tutors terribly. Students can cancel seconds before a lesson, whereas a tutor has to cancel within 12 hours. Do a google search “Cambly deactivated my account” You will see the same story as mine. I read these stories while I was working and though it was fake. But it’s not. Cambly will fire and replace you in seconds with no explanation at all!! Be careful!!!
