Pros

I have been with Cambly for almost 3 years full time. I only have conversations with students. I do not teach or prepare lessons which is the beauty of Cambly. You get to help people in many ways - not just practicing their English. but also preparing for life changes or helping through a difficult life stage (sometimes I'm more of a therapist, but I don't mind). You are essentially a contractor to Cambly so you make your own hours and work as little or as much as you like, whenever you like. You can work anywhere in the world as long as your internet is high speed. Pay day is always always on time. Cambly has never skipped a beat. Mostly the support staff assist where there are issues and they are always, always polite!

Cons

The platform needs some attention or the server needs to be enlarged, sometimes it's buggy. No show students or late cancellations are not compensated under certain circumstances. Pay rate could be a little higher (even 50c or $1 would make a huge difference to weekly earnings).

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.
