I hope everyone is enjoying their Spring Break, for those of you who have it this week, or are looking forward to it, for those who have it next week.
For those of you who have requested to send payments via, Zelle, we now have that option for you. Just send it to the email address on your invoice. We have already run a few test payments through it, and it has worked fine. It took us a while to find a local bank in Denton that accepted Zelle and also didn't require us to keep a large balance on our account. We have a long history at our regular bank, as well as many open accounts, so we were not interested in moving everything over to a new bank just for Zelle. But since we don't have to tie up a lot of money with this new bank, we felt it would be worth it.
For those who prefer Venmo, I have changed my username for those payments. I don't know how that may affect those of you who have been using Venmo to pay me previously, so please let me know if you encounter any problems. The reason for this change is that we have had a few instances where payments were sent to the wrong person. The less common spelling of my first name probably had something to do with that, so I went with something unique and also familiar to mitigate those issues going forward.
Looking forward to April, I do not expect any disruptions to my lesson schedule other than school holidays at this time.
