Vantaggi

Tutors need no qualifications or experience Flexible scheduling (in theory) You will be offering conversational English Reliably paid every week

Svantaggi

Tutors who need no experience or qualifications Utterly nontransparent rating system - ratings dictate how much work is offered Some pretty poor quality lesson materials Low rate of pay with no chance of an increase An utterly unfair system whereby even if a student has booked a 60 minute lessons, if they don't turn up the tutor gets $1.70 and if they cancel even a minute before the class, $2. Tutors sign up to offer conversational English. May students expect IELTS, TOFEL etc training, not just in speaking, advanced grammar lessons, help with university applications etc etc. That's OK if the tutor wishes to do this but not all tutors can or want to particularly for this low rate of pay There is a feeling that this mismatch of expectation is exacerbated by the company's advertising material. The amount of work offered to many tutors has fallen dramatically in recent months

Vantaggi

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

Svantaggi

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.
