Pros

Easy platform and the students are marvelous. You are talking with well educated people from all over the world who are extremely interesting.

Cons

The company is using algorithms that are faulty causing mistakes like saying that you missed an appointment when you haven't and other problems. Their messaging is not professional and sounds threatening. Changes they have made have some probably unintended consequences but they are very inconvenient. I have messaged them about it, but they don't fix the problems. Support leaves a lot to be desired, they assume you are too stupid to turn on the computer and just suggest the same things over and over which you've already done. Then when you tell them that they have no other help. BTW in the beginning it wasn't like this. I've been on the platform for many years and they used to sincerely address the issue.

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.
