Pros

I think the pay is very reasonable and it's nice to see the dollars pour in and the satisfaction of the students I talk to.

Cons

ANYONE and I mean ANYONE can call into this program, so you have 5 year olds calling you, men with improper intentions, literally ANY ONE. A lot of times I've talked to people from countries that were very difficult to understand even with the written translating tool. Often, when I would translate and send them a text, they would say they couldn't understand the text and it was wrong!

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.
