Pros

I have been employed at Cambly as a Tutor for 1.5 years. Without question, Cambly is a great place to work for numerous reasons. 1. Great Cambly Team 2. Application user interface is continually updated and easy to use. 3. Super great students. Never had any issues with my students. 4. Generally, students are serious learners which is the way I like it. 5. Pay is adequate for my needs. 6. I always look forward to reconnecting with my regular students. 7. With a little effort it is possible to establish regular students. 8. It is all about the love of being a tutor / teacher.

Cons

Although the Cambly rating system has been an issue for some Tutors, I have drawn my own conclusions. * PRS ( Personal Rating System) = My PRS is based upon whether my schedule is full and I am making the maximum amount of money possible vs time spent. * In my opinion, the present Cambly rating system serves numerous functions which goes beyond merely rating Tutors so it is probably best to just ignore it.

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.
