As a qualified TEFL teacher, I found myself in a difficult position due to the pandemic and, like many others, turned to Cambly as a temporary solution. There are some positives—the flexibility and immediate availability of work were a lifeline when I needed it most. However, the reality of working for Cambly is deeply concerning.The pay rates are appalling—$10 per hour is disgraceful for qualified educators who invest time and effort into their students. Worse still, Cambly offers little to no support for its teachers. I was verbally abused by a student and, upon reporting the incident, was met with a threat of termination if I took the same course of action again. Instead of protecting its teachers, Cambly prioritizes its bottom line, disregarding the well-being of the people who keep the platform running.Many of the teachers on Cambly are in vulnerable positions, relying on this income to survive, and yet they are subjected to working conditions that could be described as exploitative. While everything appears fine from their headquarters in California, the reality for their global workforce is vastly different—bordering on what can only be described as modern-day slave labor.Something must be done to hold Cambly accountable. Teachers deserve fair pay, protection, and respect.
