Pros

I appreciate the tremendous flexibility in scheduling with Cambly. I work part-time to supplement my pension. Cambly allows me to schedule as often or as little as I want. The great majority of my calls have been very positive. I enjoy interacting with students from around the globe. You can work with children or adults. I do both and appreciate the diversity of interactions.

Cons

While the salary is lower than many online companies, the flexibility compensates for the lower salary. That being said, I work for US$2.95 per hour more than minimum wage in my state. I have not had technical issues often, although some folks do.

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.
