Pros

You can set your own schedule.

Cons

Cambly provides no support to tutors. During the two years I worked with them any technical problems with the website was on the "Tutor's End" it was rarely Cambly's problem. If tutor is sick at the last moment or there is a "real" technical issue tutors are admonished and put in "Cambly Jail" and denied access to Priority Hours. Additionally, they manipulate ratings of tutors to keep the "Cambly Clappers" in the prime positions for obtaining new students. Their rating system confuses even the 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.
