Don't know if this question belongs here but...

I am a certified teacher - EC- 4 ESL bilingual. I want to try teaching online English classes for a summer job. Any advice or warnings?

....to cash it, keep some and send them the rest. Then a month later the cheque comes back as fake and you're out the money you sent to god-knows-who. Nobody pays you up front for work you haven't done,, or write a cheque for "too much" ! I mean, who does that?! Scammers, that's who. Keep your thinking-cap on. Good luck on your search and be careful - and do your research!
