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

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.
