Cambly is on its way out. About to be swallowed up by actual serious ESL companies.

I have worked for Cambly for 10 months. Accumulated over 1000 students and averaged 10-12 classes a day 7 days a week. Priority hours were good at the start and I got a lot of reservations but the last month or so they have dwindled to almost zero. Today I was paid my salary and it was followed up with an email that they were deactivating my account. No reason given.

No respect for tutors who are treated as disposable. They have not increased pay in over ten years. Their advertising to students is basically false.

This absolutely terrible company pays well below most countries' minimum wage and hasn't made a single increase in years. It also makes a mockery of English teaching and to prospective students, I would say why sign up to learn English from people who are not qualified to do so? This company needs to be investigated.

Horrible, money hungry company that takes advantage of the tutors as well as the students.
By Kasandra L.
This moneyhungry company doesn’t care about their users. They underpay their employees and meanwhile they keep making the lessons more expensive for the students. The students pay quite a bit of money to do the lessons but the teachers only get a unacceptably small percentage of this money. This selfish company is NOT part of the people who want to make this world a better place.

This platform constantly increases their subscription fees but never increases the pay of their teachers!
By bob T.
My teacher was banned from Cambly without notice. I didn’t even get to say goodbye and I’ve been with this teacher for over a year. This sucks! Cambly always raises their subscription fee and then bans your favourite teacher. Now i have to find another teacher but it won’t be with Cambly! Don’t waste your time signing up to learn here.
