Not for serious teachers!

Pros

You can work from home, work whenever you want.

Cons

Very low pay. No matter how good of a teacher you are, a lot of "students" are just looking for young, cute girls to talk/flirt with. This applies mostly to the Arab make students, who can be very rude/vulgar. The Korean students are great! But I would say more than half the "students" are not interested in learning, so if you are a serious and/or older teacher (or you happen to be male or brown) I would look elsewhere. And forget about making $10 an hour, that never happens. $7 is more like it.

Pros

Nice teachers on the forum.

Cons

Terrible customer service No procedure in place to vet students Cannot express views on their forum Worked with cambly for a few months and that was enough....first student swore profoundly, many were just time wasters and some even displayed genitals!! A very poorly managed company and with such a small team communication is very slow. Pay is ridiculous....$2.55 they is gteed for first 15 mins...There were times I sat in front of my laptop waiting for a student for hours getting only $2.55!! "slave labour" IMO. Don't even think about fighting your case as the system automatically blacks you from opening more "priority" slots if you don't (or should I say HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO" take any calls. This company is just a cash cow for getting as many students online as possible but has NO regard for teachers!

Pros

The site is very flexible and easy to use. The programmers are always innovating the platform. You can talk with students from all around the world at anytime of the day or night.

Cons

The pay could be higher
