Pros

You have complete control over your schedule and a reasonable amount of control over who you teach. This can result in getting paid to work consistently over time with people who feel like friends.

Cons

At the beginning you will need to take advantage of priority hours, which mean that lots of calls from newcomers are directed to you. These people did not choose you, most of the time, and you cannot choose them, so the likelihood of you getting along effortlessly is lower. Nevertheless, it is relatively easy to keep them talking, give them some corrections, and get through the lesson time unscathed.

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.
