Pros

Work anytime, flexible schedule, weekly pay, work from home

Cons

The only con I can think of is that occasionally a student will no-show. People sometimes complain about the pay but I think the pay is fair because Cambly does all the advertising, scheduling, collecting payment, etc. In addition, I have no commuting expenses, expenses for wardrobe or meals at work, etc. I simply click and tutor. I should also mention that I don't make all my income from Cambly. It is a great supplemental or 2nd income. Also, tutors should realize that Cambly's prices around the world are more reasonable for students compared to other tutoring services.

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.
