Pros

Cambly is very flexible. You can choose how many hours you want to work, and when. You can take priority hours (where you have to go online), just go on when you want to (and see who calls you), open spaces for students to make a reservation with you, or any combination of the above. You can work on Cambly from the comfort of your own home, or any other place that fits the tutoring requirements. You can tutor the way that suits you best - no real format to follow. They pay you weekly. They are always trying to improve the system, and have made positive changes over the years.

Cons

Cambly doesn't pay a lot (bottom-line minimum wage). If there are connection issues, there is really not much you can do at the moment you are having problems, and the support team is often slow in getting back to you.

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.
