I started having my students pay me week-by-week, which I will not be doing in the future. Parents don't really remember, so I have to go up and ask, "hey will you pay me now?" That gets a little akward and unprofessional. One guy here in Portland charges by the quarter, but he says that people forget to pay and then he's giving free lessons for a few months until they remember. I wonder how many people in 10 years will be tech savvy. And what that will mean in 10 years! I hear you on the payment thing.
