Pros

Cambly is a great place to meet people from other countries...and make a little extra cash while doing it! I love that it is completely flexible. There are no lessons to prepare and no set schedule you have to follow. Many times I have been lazying around the house, surfing the web and I log in to my Cambly account just to see if anybody is out there. Many times people have called in and I get to have a wonderful conversation with someone on the other side of the world. A 30 minute conversation is 5 bucks! Easy money and I get to talk with some cool people. I have yet to have a bad conversation. I also have regular students who make reservations for me and I can go through some actual lessons with them. Cambly has a huge library that has all kinds of material to use if you want...and its all free. I have absolutely enjoyed my time on Cambly and would stay on it all day, everyday if I could. Sure, you don't make a ton of money each conversation, but it adds up. If you really like talking to people and helping them out then it isn't really about the money. However, it is nice that every Monday the money earned from the previous week goes straight into my Paypal account. It isn't hard to figure out that this is a sweet gig.

Cons

I and some students have had issues with internet speed. Not Cambly's fault, but they do fuss about have some good internet. Completely understandable if they want to keep a high level of quality.

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.
