Pros

Quick review process (no interview needed) for the application Possible to get work immediately through the concept of priority hours after the application is accepted Get to meet different students from all over the world (not country-specific) Guaranteed pay per minute on a call Can choose one's own schedule Do not need to make your own lesson plans, Cambly provides lesson plans if needed.

Cons

Low pay rate per minute and NO additional bonus system Some calls can be really short, e.g. 5 minutes (free trial students) Not paid for last minute cancelled reservations. Waiting time during signed-up priority hours are unpaid. Only paid for 10 minutes of a reserved lesson if the student no shows.

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.
