Pros

- work anytime - job is mostly just talking to people - meet people from all over the world - help people with English - you can make some extra snack money while you’re browsing the Internet or watching YouTube - can make money if you’re bored and feeling chatty

Cons

- have to be on video - students and platform have poor connection - LOW pay. You only get paid by the minute. So half the time you’re on there you might not get calls. So you really make less than $8 an hour - even if you do stay booked it’s not worth it at only $10 an hour. Just find a higher paying tutor job - you can’t see any feedback from students

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.
