I've been a Cambly tutor for 2 years

When I started on Cambly, it was fine. It's advertised to tutors as a place where they only have to converse, not teach. However, it seems that they advertise to students in an opposite manner. Students get on Cambly knowing nothing, others expect personalized lesson plans for grammar, IELTS practice, essay correction, etc. That wouldn't be so bad if Cambly would raise the pay, but that's another thing they refuse to do. So students expect you to spend hours creating personalized lesson plans for niche subjects, while Cambly pays peanuts, and lies in its' ads to professors. They also refuse to show you your reviews, so you never know what students might have rated you poorly for. If you don't know - you can't improve. They don't pay enough to live, and some teachers try to justify it by saying that they keep prices low for students. That's a lie. Students have told me that their subscription costs are going up, but is my salary? Nope. Oh, and don't worry, I didn't forget about the men who use Cambly to masturbate in front of poor unsuspecting women!

Highly recommended!

I started using Cambly to improve my speaking and pronunciation abilities. The platform is user-friendly, allowing me to effortlessly find a teacher and schedule classes. As someone who frequently travels, the flexibility to arrange sessions on any day, any time and everywhere is a major plus. I highly recommend it.

The tutors aren't trained at all

The tutors aren't trained at all. The one I had was eating and rude. She said something about not being paid enough and hung up. Their material looks like it was made in 1987 and is quite useless even with the best tutors on the platform.

Disappointed

Cambly terribly treated me. You cancelled all my reservations because of the VISA card problem. Then, a few minutes afterward, the money was successfully paid. But, I lost all my reservations. This has greatly affected my study and definitely my trust toward Cambly !!

Best choice I have ever made.

When I joined Cambly, I went from zero. I had never studied English before, and you have no idea how scared I was. I still remember my first class. I was so terrified that I didn't turn my camera on. Day by day I started feeling more relaxed and confident. Now I have finally understood there was nothing to be afraid of. I have met wonderful people here, who helped me to face my fears, and I will forever be grateful to all my tutors. They have taught me a lot, in a joyful environment. I still make mistakes of course. It's part of the learning journey. You are going through up and downs, but your tutors will always be there to support you. What are you waiting for? Subscribe to Cambly. You won't regret it.

Very low pay, but it works

I see some very polarized, emotionally charged opinions on here. So I'll try to offer one that isn't. In my years on Cambly, they provide exactly what they say. You can earn UP TO $10.20US/hr, if you manage to tutor the entire hour. This never happens unless you treat this like a fulltime job, set a schedule, book students for reservations, and put WAY more effort in than any job would ever require that pays so little.If you simply log in, sign up for Priority Hours, and wait, you'll earn about $5/hr. This is an average that I've calculated over years. In the last few months, I've noticed that most of my calls get picked up by another tutor first. I don't understand why my "phone would ring" if someone else can pick up the call. I assume their algorithm and technology is always changing, but this is silly to me. And I suppose it's just a matter of demand and supply, but waiting and waiting and waiting.. is very boring. Most of the time, I don't use Cambly because it's not worth it. I can do basically anything else and earn more money (I earned twice the wage collecting dead palm leaves from my neighbor's lot, and I live in a small town where a peso goes far)That being said, if you're really really bored, you can earn enough money to pay for some Doritos. They deserve 4 stars because they don't lie; they don't say you WILL make $10.20/hr. But not 5 stars, because generally speaking, tutoring on Cambly is much more effor than it's worth.. set up your room, get a nice background, fix your hair, put on a nice shirt, set the lighting, then wait...If you have the patience for 3hrs of sitting there, you MIGHT earn $20.
