Pros

I've been working for Cambly for about a month and it's exactly what I was looking for. I pick my own hours, work from home and get paid when I'm supposed to. You will not get rich working as a tutor at Cambly but you will get paid for every minute you work. The company is very transparent on what is expected and how you will be compensated, and they have absolutely held up their side of the deal. I have met so many wonderful people (students) and I've made some real connections with some of them. This job is not easy, and you must be prepared to work. You will need patience both with students who are learning a new language, so they may struggle and with the amount of time it takes to build up relationships with them, so they come back to you time and time again. A good sense of humor and a lot of kindness will help as well. I've read reviews with people complaining about the pay but as I said, Cambly is transparent and very upfront about how you will be paid. If that doesn't suit you or your life, this is not the job for you. Just read the description and know what you’re getting into pay wise and then make your choice. Bottom line, this is an interesting and sometimes challenging job that I happen to love. You will be paid, but you will work for it.

Cons

I wish there were more priority hours available but outside of that, I have no real cons.

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.
