Pros

I have only started today but what a day! I put off doing my video for months and was intimidated by all of the lessons and info and Super Tutors. My video went up last night, I had two Priority Hours, and spoke to four people from far-off countries. It was all quite natural, relaxed and fun...and actually quite thrilling! This is an amazing site, the way it is all set up and organized and easy to chat and make money. Ask me in a month how it is going.

Cons

My main problem is the audio connection. Because it is a language-based program, I need to hear perfectly. I don't know if it was me or them but Saudi Arabia and Nigeria were rough. I also wish there were a link on the menu to get me right to the set-up. I had to go through the tutor guide link to get to it (2 x).

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.
