Worst Platform for Teachers – Stay Away from CamblyCambly is hands down the worst platform I’ve ever worked on, and I’ve taught on over 5 different platforms in the past 3.5 years. This company is an absolute nightmare for teachers. The pay is shockingly low, with no increases despite inflation and the rising cost of living. They expect you to deliver high-quality lessons while paying next to nothing in return – it’s pure exploitation.Their support is a joke. If you run into issues (which happens often), don’t expect any help. They either don’t respond, or when they do, their responses are useless. Cambly's "support" is designed to make you feel like you're the problem, no matter what the issue is.To make matters worse, their servers are constantly crashing. Just look at Reddit, and you’ll see the daily complaints from teachers about the platform’s endless technical problems. The site is always changing, and it’s always for the worse – consuming more bandwidth and becoming more unstable with each update. Yet somehow, the teacher is always blamed for technical issues, even when it’s clearly Cambly’s fault.Their pay policy for no-shows is completely unacceptable. You can prepare for a full lesson, but if the student doesn't show up, you're only paid for 10 minutes. This happens frequently, and it’s clear they’ve designed this system to cheat teachers out of their hard-earned time and money.Cambly penalizes you at every turn, for even the smallest mistakes or things beyond your control. Their expectations are ridiculous, but they refuse to support their teachers in any meaningful way.Of all the platforms I’ve worked on, Cambly is by far the worst. Avoid it at all costs. It’s an exploitative, unreliable platform that abuses teachers, refuses to pay fairly, and is a technical disaster. You deserve better.
