Pros

Only pro is the flexibility (24/7 and you set your own availability)

Cons

Pay is based on minutes spent talking with students, so if the student is late or absent for their reserved class time with you, you lose money. If a student reserves you, you should get the full pay for that time, regardless of when or if they come to class. It is completely unfair and why $12/hr for Cambly kids actually turns out to be around $8/hr, not worth it for those living in the US (which is the majority or their teachers).

Pros

Many students to teach if you don’t mind very low pay.

Cons

Very low pay. Just $5 for a thirty minute class. Very unfair company. One day, they wrote me and said while observing a class, they noticed I was chewing gum. And that is not allowed. BUT, they FAILED to watch the whole class to see that the topic of the class was Chewing Gum, and the student told me to chew the gum. I did what the student said. They fired me for chewing gum ! I was incredulous. This company is terrible.
