Pros

They pay weekly and hardly ever fail, You make your own schedule and can work from anywhere ,take holidays when you need and want ,you choose the students that you want to teach.Good as a second job to earn some extra money and gain experience.If you have any issues the support team are very fast to get back to you.They are protecting more and more tutors .A good help chat room.Good friendly team groups .

Cons

The pay is a little low, you MUST have a good internet!You MUST have a clean background and no external noise!NO people behind you!if a family member accidently walks behind you while working you may be punished .The rating can hurt motivation.Weekly salary depends on you so if no demand no work no money.

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.
