As a UI/Curriculum Intern at Step Up Tutoring, I worked with the Product and Program teams to enhance the tutor-facing curriculum navigation system. The goal was to improve usability and reduce friction for tutors delivering lessons remotely.

Background

Overview

Led improvements to the curriculum platform's UI to help tutors more efficiently access lesson content. Focused on simplifying navigation and aligning the structure with tutor workflows.

  1. Conducted usability testing and gathered tutor feedback through surveys and pilot walkthroughs

  2. Designed and implemented a revised navigation bar using Softr with Airtable backend integration

  3. Collaborated with the Head of Product & Technology to ensure UI alignment with broader platform goals

  4. Documented system changes and created a tutor-facing walkthrough video (facilitated by the Program Manager)

Responsibilities

Outcome

  1. 30% reduction in the time tutors spent locating materials

  2. Over 80% satisfaction rating from tutors on post-redesign usability

  3. Navigation redesign adopted as a reusable template for future UI improvements
