Pros

I really have no pros, as you waste more time just sitting in your chair and not getting paid for your time

Cons

the worst platform I have worked on, you get a class from people that are rude and say nasty things to you. The pay is nothing to brag about 17cents per minute, but you spend most of your time waiting for a student so you don't get paid for the wait time and terrible class material. students are not told to use a computer all use phones with bad wi-fi so you lose money and time with connection loss and hardly any teachers are professionals and have no certificates

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.
