Cambly reviews

Low pay, technical/connection difficulties. It took 3 months for my application to be approved, and after I was approved, there was a technical problem that prevented me from tutoring for 2 additional months after my approval. To resolve the problem, it took 2 months of ongoing attempts to contact support- through email and social media- to get someone to fix it. Sometimes, the camera cuts out or disconnects (this is sometimes due to Cambly, but it's sometimes due to students' connections and/or equipment). Pay is low. If you talk the whole time, it's $10 an hour, but in actuality, it averages out to about $7.50-$8 an hour when you're just using PH time and don't have reservations.

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!
