What works

Each part of the service, checked from Syria.

Core useFails

Tutoring could not be used from Syria: the only way to get started is a request form that needs a US phone number for a callback, and Syrian numbers cannot be entered in it. Recorded from the sign-up test on the same day.

Landing pageWorks

The Varsity Tutors website opened from Syria and could be browsed, including the homepage and an internal tutoring page.

Sign-upFails

Varsity Tutors offers no direct sign-up; new users are sent to a request form that asks for a US ZIP code and a US-format phone number. The phone field stops after ten digits, so a Syrian number could not be entered and the form could not be completed from Syria.
