We began each session by obtaining consent to record audio and video when needed. Participants were assured that this was not a test, and there were no right or wrong answers. The goal was to collect feedback that could improve the usability of the FindTutor app, which connects students or parents with tutors and facilitates easy booking.

Participants were guided through key tasks in the app, each followed by prompts for feedback:

  1. Create a Profile: Evaluate the ease of the profile creation process and suggest improvements.

  2. Browse and Select a Tutor: Share feedback on the design and information shown for tutor selection.

  3. Review Tutor Details: Assess the usefulness of information on the tutor’s profile page.

  4. Book a Tutor: Complete the booking by selecting a tutor, time, and date.

  5. Overall Feedback: Share thoughts on the overall experience with the FindTutor app.
