When you see present perfect, ask these questions

Do I have an event completed in the past at an unspecified time? No
Recent session is mentioned

Do I have an event that began in the past and carries into the present moment? no

Since none of the above is true for the question you mentioned, go for simple past.

Here is a very good post that helped me understand tenses better.
