Giving adults the ability to find a tutor that works for them meant figuring out what most adult creative writers felt the space was lacking.
Goals
User: To find tutoring for creative writing
Business: Increase opportunity for the creative writing community to find help
Product: Create a simple but effective way to deliver tutoring services
Design Process
There is a stigma surrounding adult college students and adult learners. The main feature we wanted to focus on was finding tutors for specific subjects within creative writing. To ensure that tutees can find a tutor for their needs, filtering was introduced.
Research
To make sure features worked the way tutees needed, four rounds of usability testing was completed. Tutee needs and feedback proved crucial during testing.
The first two rounds of testing were done with low fidelity prototypes, focusing on the process of searching for a tutor. The last two rounds of testing were done with high fidelity prototypes, focusing on the process of booking a tutor.
