Pros

Meeting and helping interesting people from all over the world; schedule flexibility. . Some technical problems, but perhaps that's normal for a platform with such features (I'm not a technical person)

Cons

. From tutors POV: very poor: pay, tutor support/respect. . Curriculum: good quantity but poor quality . Students POV: progress extremely slow for them for several reasons but they don't realize it; significant cost for little real progress; difficulty accessing regular tutors, no focus on important basics since they don't attract customers even though they're most important for real progress, etc. . making a killing for the owners/shareholders though!

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.
