This company is paying under the minimum wage in many countries for example the UK. It should be forced to pay a decent wage. Recently they told me they were reporting my income to my country of residence - good - I pay tax anyways. The problem is they way they have done it takes my hourly rate below the legal minimum. We are defenceless against these people. They could be shut down if they don't report income for tax but who gives a monkeys if we are paid peanuts.

This company is the worst! It has a toxic work environment, unfair low pay, and engages in unfair business practices. The list goes on and on. If it were possible to give less than a one-star review, I would. This company takes at least two-thirds of what the student pays. The company has blocked teachers from certain states where the minimum wage is more than what they pay. As minimum wage has risen everywhere, Cambly refuses to give a raise. I've worked in some of the worst environments in the world, and Cambly is by far the worst. Additionally, I believe that Congress should investigate the company due to numerous negative reviews by tutors and students worldwide.

The company takes at least two thirds of what the student pays. Practically zero support from higherups. Marketed to students as a place to meet with professional teachers, marketed to teachers as a place to get paid for conversation like a sex worker, and the difference teachers learn in trial by fire, four-star ratings ruining your profile. If you are a woman, men students will certainly expose themselves, and support most likely will do nothing. They have blocked teachers from certain states whose minimum wage is more than what they pay, because as minimum wage has risen literally everywhere, for Cambly a raise will never happen. I've worked in some of the crumbiest environments there are in the world, and cambly is by far the worst.

Blatant disregard for the very core of their business. $$$ before education.

I've dedicated over 4 years to Cambly, and the only thing keeping me going is my wonderful regular students. Well, my students and the fact that burnout is a REAL problem. I'm always too tired and unmotivated to move on. It's a horrible vicious circle. But let me tell you, this company is a disgrace. Pathetic Compensation Cambly pays a pittance at $10.20 per hour, it's a slap in the face. And that's $10.20 only IF you teach for 60 minutes. They compensate by the minute which is currently $0.17. A little more for teaching kids classes. Tutors are left with a meagre $1.70 to $2 for no-shows and late cancellations. We get no benefits—no healthcare, no pension, no sick pay, nothing. This is exploitation, pure and simple. Outrageous Terms of Agreement Their new Terms of Agreement are downright criminal. We have to allow them to use our lessons for development and improvements. Basically, we're agreeing to them using us to train AI tutors that will make us jobless. Dystopia at its finest! They’re squeezing every last penny out of their students while treating tutors like disposable slaves. This is a scummy company that treats its tutors like dirt. Burnout is real and it's affecting so many online tutors, especially with the way we have to do things here at Cambly. Gig work, online side hustle, whatever you want to call it, this is a twisted, messed up way to go about modern-day work. If you value your mental health and your time, find something else. It is easy to get stuck working for Cambly because you'll be too tired and burned out to learn a new skill or find another job. PLEASE, DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY.

Cambly doesn't pay their tutors a decent wage. The rating system is horrible and God forbid you have a life and have to cancel a lesson, you're punished for that. They expect you to create these personal lesson plans for students on your free time, with little pay? I'm returning back to my other platform to teach. Cambly sucks! Don't work here! They also overcharge their students and Cambly Inc is a $250 Million dollar company! They can affored a raise increase for their tutors. Many who are certified!

Like many tutors have mentioned and the most important thing - the pay is LOW. We are getting paid way below minimum wage, they do “bonus” schemes which really don’t benefit us, we have to work many many hours before we can even receive a decent bonus. It’s not a bonus it’s an incentive and a way to keep students coming back for more and paying the company money. Oh Cambly like to increase their prices for students but where does that money go?? Definitely not towards increasing tutors’ pay. It’s so disheartening and disrespectful because this could be a good job where tutors would be happy which would enrich the students’ experience… however, it’s the most mentally exhausting job especially knowing the company cares so little about you.

I've been working for Cambly for over 5 years. The only good thing about this Company is my regular students. The pay is disgraceful The material for Cambly Kids is a shambles Their new TERM OF AGREEMENT is criminal. This is a shameless company that bleeds their student's bank accounts dry and wants teachers as slaves. If you value yourself and your time DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY
