    Confidence jumped in four weeks

    I felt awkward at first, then suddenly started speaking longer. Tutors kept it upbeat, so I left sessions energized and proud of progress.

    Booked a tutor in minutes

    Sign up took two clicks and I jumped into a trial chat. The schedule view is simple, and lesson notes sync nicely. Great for quick practice between meetings.

    When words finally flowed

    Halfway through a story about my dog, I realized I hadn’t translated in my head. The tutor smiled and just nodded for me to keep going.

    As a tutor with under 4.9 rating

    As a tutor with under 4.9 rating, I can't get priority hours, even after years with Cambly. The pay tutors get compared to what students pay is ridiculos. Both students and tutors can find better options, since there are other platforms out there.

    It’s not too bad.

    I’ve been teaching on Cambly for over four years and enjoyed lots of good conversations and met many nice students. It would be nice if they noticed the tutors’ hard work and gave a small pay raise!

    This company has really gone downhill.

    This company has really gone downhill. They’ve clearly driven away many students by raising their prices. It looks like they’re intentionally harming tutor ratings to avoid giving them jobs. There are way too many changes, low pay, and poor support. STAY AWAY FROM CAMBLY!! IT’S DONE.

    I’ve been with Cambly for 10 months.

    I’ve been with Cambly for 10 months. Taught over 1000 students and had 10-12 classes daily every day. At first, the priority hours were great and I had plenty of bookings, but recently they have dropped significantly. Today, I received my pay and an email saying my account was being deactivated with no explanation.

    I really like how I consistently have students

    I really like how I consistently have students during my priority hours. It'd be better if Cambly could keep a closer eye on the amount of kids I take calls from. I usually don't feel ready and I haven't registered to teach kids.

    Decent idea, but they treat students and tutors like trash

    Decent idea, but they treat students and tutors like trash, dump them without warning when their fancy San Francisco office feels like it. They don't listen or care, no way to argue. They say it's final, won't talk more. Wish they had more support staff. Even the trustpilot responses lack heart. Hope they improve.

    helped me feel better

    Cambly really helped me feel better when I travel or listen to English stuff. It also made me understand jokes better when I watch movies in English.

    Cambly is awesome! The tutors are friendly and well-prepared, making learning English enjoyable for students. Plus, with tutors from various backgrounds and accents, students can pick their favorite accent and schedule lessons whenever they please.

    The company's stagnant pay structure

    The company's stagnant pay structure since 2012 is concerning, falling well below the minimum wage standards in English-speaking countries. The lack of fair compensation reflects a disregard for the value of its tutors. Additionally, the presence of inexperienced tutors in the Facebook forum discussing basic grammar issues raises doubts about the company's commitment to quality. Demanding excessive prep work and course development from tutors for inadequate pay further highlights a lack of appreciation for their efforts. In 2024, such low pay standards raise legal and ethical questions.

    Розмова є, програма на тобі

    Чекав структурованого курсу, натомість отримав живе спілкування. Це плюс для флюенсі, але граматику доводилось планувати самому. Зручний графік і різні тьютори виручають.

    Належна розмова без страху

    Перші уроки були хвилюючі, але викладач підтримав і давав прості теми. Записи уроків зберігаються, зручно повертатись. Пакет хвилин підійшов ідеально.

    Говориш з носіями в пару кліків

    Бронювання просте, нотатки зберігаються, можна стрибати в момент. Добре для регулярної практики. Не використані хвилини не переносяться, про це варто пам’ятати.
