Pros

-scheduling whenever and wherever you are in the world - weekly payouts above $20 money PST time - Being able to work while getting other things done as you basically “on call roulette system” - learning about the cultures from people all over the world

Cons

- The resources are basically a joke - No ability to grow or earn more - extreme lack of professionalism with free trial students - No ability to block free trial students which really aren’t worth the time energy etc - It is impossible to make a steady income without grinding for long hours which then makes you learn less for your time - once again there is no guarantee of making the set $10 per hour. Even if you become an excellent tutor with curtailed or self made lesson plans the best you can hope to earn is $10.. They recently started a Children’s program and the pay is $12 but not all will be on boarded and the process was cumbersome

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.
