Cambly tutor requirements are minimal compared to many other online teaching platforms. Tutors must be native or near-native English speakers, with excellent conversational skills, and must be at least 18 years old[1][5][6][8].
No degree, ESL teaching certificate, or prior online teaching experience is required to become a Cambly tutor. Unlike many other companies, Cambly’s focus is on flexible, conversation-based English learning, so formal credentials are not necessary for general tutoring[2][3][5][6][7]. However, having a TEFL or similar qualification can enhance your profile and attractiveness to students, but it is not mandatory[3].
Technical requirements include:
- Stable, high-speed internet connection
- Laptop or desktop computer with a webcam
- Headset with a microphone for clear audio
- Good lighting and a quiet work environment
Tutors are expected to have their full setup ready before applying[1][5].
There is no minimum or maximum commitment for teaching hours; you can work as much or as little as you want on Cambly[5][7].
Cambly typically prioritizes applicants who are passport holders from native English-speaking countries (United States, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa). However, near-native speakers from other locations may also be considered[6].
To apply, you fill out a basic form, record a short introduction video, and complete an internet test. No background check or references are required[7].
