Pros

They pay weekly and the time slots are 24 hours a day

Cons

Poor management and does not keep the tutor safe from people who do not want to learn English at all. I get people who is profanity students are usually very angry and blame tutors for their lack of willingness to put in the effort to learn a new language. I always ask the students how I may help them. But even if I do exactly what they want they typically give bad reviews because they were unsatisfied. Which makes absolutely no sense because they are in control they choose what they get to do during the lesson.

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.
