Bug: "Book a Session" button on instructor profile redirects to /instructors instead of a booking flow

[Snehashree21]

Summary

On every instructor profile page (e.g. Meena Sharma, Priya Nair), the "Book a session" button does not lead to any booking flow. Instead, it simply redirects the user back to the /instructors listing page, making it impossible for a learner to actually book a session with an instructor.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to https://parampara-two.vercel.app/instructors
2. Click "View profile" on any instructor card
3. On the instructor profile page, click the "Book a session" button
4. Observe that you are redirected back to /instructors instead of a booking page

Expected Behavior

Clicking "Book a session" should either:

1.Navigate to a dedicated booking page (e.g. /book/Priya Nair) where the user can select a time slot and confirm the session, or
2.Open a booking modal/form on the same page

Actual Behavior

The button redirects the user to /instructors the general instructors listing page with no booking functionality triggered.

@Snehashree21 the redirect page is not crated yet

Hi @Mehren7! I'd love to work on this issue.

I've already investigated the bug — the href on the "Book a session" button is hardcoded to /instructors. Since the booking page doesn't exist yet, the fix involves two things:

1. Creating a new /book/[id] page with a session booking form
2. Updating the button href to /book/${instructor.id}

Could you please assign this to me? Contributing as part of NSoC '26.
