Pros

I really enjoy the students. I never know who the next call will be. I love the variety. I meet people from all over the globe. I have traveled a lot so it feels very comfortable. As a tutor I am thrilled to go over grammar or discuss idioms. I do a lot of test prep but even if you don't have the material the library is at your fingertips. The staff is fantastic if you need to report or ban a student they are totally supportive. They also understand when emergencies come up. I really am very happy with Cambly.

Cons

In the beginning I didn't always get priority hours or reservations but I learned the methods to circumvent that. It is just a short learning curve for a month or so.

Pros

Very flexible schedule (you create your own), can easily cancel classes without too much of a penalty (make every student that you like a "regular" student so that if you get penalized...only regulars can book you...you have a huge pool of regulars), Cambly provides lessons, you can use almost any website as long as you don't need to share login information, it's fun and easy, many students become like friends, you can learn about different countries, cultures, and languages

Cons

The pay. It has never increased in the 14 years that Cambly has been in business. They are starting to offer a new program called "Cambly Pro" where you can make $15 an hour, but you have to apply to be a tutor for it and you could be denied. You have to have a 99% rating for 3 months to even be considered. If, like me, you are open to all students (and not just your regular students that you have become friends with), your rating can vary widely. No matter how good of a tutor you are, you will not be everyone's cup of tea. Also, Cambly does not allow tutors to teach in some states in the U.S. due to labor laws.
