Pros

The pros of Cambly are endless. I can create my own schedule , the hours are around the clock ( 24 hours a day) . I love this flexibility and I feel so lucky to have found this opportunity. Besides the occasional glitch, the Cambly platform is well organized and I like the set up. The students are interesting and inspiring people. I look forward to my regulars, and I look forward to meeting new students.

Cons

The website often stalls and freezes. It is not always this way, only sometimes. I invested in a fiber optic internet plan so my connection is always great. However sometimes the student on the recieving end has a very bad connection and drops off. When the Cambly page is really slow it makes it difficult to answer the calls , but most of the time it is fine. If that was fixed, Cambly would be no doubt the most perfect platform ever.

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.
