A Great Experience

Pros

Teaching on has turned out to be one of the most interesting and gratifying experiences of my life. It provides a window into other cultures that even extensive travel would be hard pressed to duplicate. It is sometimes amazing the kinds of information students reveal about their societies. There is certainly a learning curve for new tutors, but I found my ability to provide a good learning experience for students at all levels improved fairly quickly. A tutor cannot be everything to all students, but it was a great feeling when I began to see particular students coming back because they appreciated my effort and teaching style.

Cons

Finally, while the pay is not an awful lot, I like the fact that I have no travel or business expenses with Cambly.

Pros

You can work anywhere in the world; pretty casually talk to students, mostly from Saudi Arabia; payment is once a week.

Cons

Mediocre pay but OK for supplementary. Termination without any warning/reason. Difficult to make full 10 bucks an hour (unless all reservations, so averages are 6 to 8 hours for most tutors). Difficult to reach support. If you step out of timezones (like travelling to a different country), you will wait WEEKS to get your account approved for working again (Cambly is patently understaffed). Never mind if you have already been tutoring on Cambly for months!

Pros

You set your own hours. Whenever you want to work, just log in. You can meet some great people with very interesting lives. A lot of students (all ages) are really motivated to improve and respond well to constructive corrections. You can connect with other tutors via the facebook page to ask questions, but a lot of basic questions can be answered on their info pages.

Cons

If you are online, but you do not talk to anyone for an hour, you are not paid for that hour. Priority Hours are sometimes unavailable for your preferred time so there is no guarantee you will make what you want or need in a given day. There is always the chance you will answer a call and see genitals. You can ban them immediately, but it doesn't stop them from doing it in the first place.
