I was so sad to hear the news of Christine's passing, when I found out via other tutors on our Facebook group. I met Christine on Zoom in 2014, through a regular tutor's video call. She was always kind, understanding and had a wealth of advice on tutoring in general, but also an expert in delivering online tuition, long before 'everyone' was using Zoom. She would often tell us that she had been using computers before the rest of us tutors were born and that she used a computer that was so large that it had its own building. She'd clearly had an interesting life - I would have loved to have known more. Sadly our online chats reduced during the lockdown of 2020 as tutors became busier and busier during the day. We will certainly miss her, and can't believe that we had not noticed that she hadn't been active in any of the Facebook groups. Rest assured, we will be holding a special online meeting to honour Christine this week. Thank you Christine, for being a part of our lives.
