Pros

-You choose your own schedule -You can make money any hour of the day as long as there are students looking for a tutor -You can work as much or as little as you like -For the most part you are just having conversations with the students and correcting their grammar or sentence structure. You don't need to have lesson plans but you can create them if you want -You begin to have regular students who make reservations with you where you can actually see their progress -The support staff is pretty quick to respond to your issues, especially if they are technical -You don't get harshly penalized if you miss a lesson with a student. There is no loss of money (thank god) because sometimes internet outages or emergencies cannot be avoided.

Cons

-Not too many cons working for Cambly except sometimes the students aren't at a conversational level so you will have to start with the basics -They pay isn't on the higher end of the pay scale but it's ok

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.
