Jon Dreyer: Administrative Stuff

This page is for the boring, administrative stuff.

Calendar: My Calendar is online so you can verify that I've scheduled your sessions properly, and so you can find times I'm likely to be free. If you are interested in setting up regular weekly sessions, look ahead at least a month to see a more typical week.
Payment: You can Pay online, by check or by cash. In any case, please pay on the day of your session or before. You are welcome, actually encouraged, to pay for any number of sessions in advance.
Bills: I usually don't send bills because I ask to be paid in advance. However, sometimes things get complicated and I send a bill, usually by email, and you can always request one. The bill, usually dating from the beginning of the calendar year, is usually in two separate files, one called the Customer Report and one invoice. The invoice shows all the charges but no payments, so you usually don't owe the "Amount Due" amount from the invoice! The Customer Report contains all your payments and the grand total from the invoice. The "Total Due" line on the Customer Report is what I think you owe. (If it's negative that means I owe you.) If this number does not seem right, please let me know. (By the way, you can ignore the "0-30 days" etc. stuff on the Customer Report.) I use GnuCash to keep track of this stuff.
Snow/ice/etc: If I close because of the weather, I'll put a big note about it on my home page at least two hours before your session. You are always welcome to cancel because of the weather even if I don't.
Cancellations: Please try to give me at least 24 hours notice for cancellations; I'll do the same.
Holidays: I normally assume that holidays are like any other days. If you want to take off, let me know; I'll do the same.
Reaching me: Usually email is best. If it's urgent, try the phone. If you send a text message, I may even read it when I'm busy (e.g. tutoring).
Directions by car, on foot, by Lexpress, by MBTA
Parking: You are welcome to park in my driveway if there is exactly one other car there already (probably mine). Otherwise please park in the street around the corner on Butler Ave (see map). I don't recommend parking on Baker Ave.
