Pros

1.) Getting paid every week is great 2.) SOME of the students want to learn English 3.) People like to just have conversations with people from diff countries

Cons

1.) The PAY needs to add up to $10.20 per hour/usually can make $7-9 if reservations are made. 2.) SICK/CANCELLATIONS- Needs to be more understanding. I got an email saying from a male worker because my son got sick badly unexpectedly I need to "HIRE A BABYSITTER"! HMMM really not a good response to a single mother who only makes little money with Cambly at $7 per hour as babysitter cost around $15 hr. Then a female worker is now responding to me in emails. INTERESTING!!! 3.) Give teachers more respect and understanding.... were not slave dogs to teaching. People get sick, kids get sick, people loved ones pass away. Freezing accounts, taking away PH's, its just added stress. 4.) Platforms needs to change with rules, regulations, policies, and so forth. I think people with more education, certificates, and so forth should be 3 different kinds of teaching on here can make a difference with the company and quality educators. I do not know why this is rated high as in other companies I made $30 hour. I am going back to them.

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.
