Pros

Set your own schedule, meet people from around the world, materials and software provided, any native english speakers can apply, great to make extra income or live on a low budget, depending on your country

Cons

Sometimes students have poor connection, sometimes you don't get many calls, you can be on respond but only actually teach for 10 to 30 minutes a lot of the time, and are only paid for the time you are teaching on a call. They do reimburse you for 15 minutes of your time, if your talk time in that hour is less than 15 minutes

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.
