Pros

I love working for Cambly. If you want to work for a company that gives you total freedom it is a great fit for you. You get to work on your terms and can work as much or as little as you want. No more asking the boss for time off or trying to squeeze in a little overtime to make ends meet. They pay every Monday and they pay on time every time. No more need for detailed lesson plans or lots and lots of paperwork. At Cambly you can prepare as much or as little as you want.

Cons

Pay could be better but considering how stress free the work is, it's not worth complaining too much about that. Also, now that they have introduced group sessions, there could be better screening of the students. Other than that I don't have any cons to speak of.

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.
