## About

Marketplace connecting students with vetted private tutors across many subjects

## Activity summary

Restricted for users in Syria, verified by community testing in February 2026: the site loads and is browsable, but sign-in and account creation fail with a generic error from Syrian connections. That same month a community volunteer contacted the parent company asking it to review access for Syria, referencing the lifting of sanctions, with no response so far.

## Community reports

- 2026-02-24 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer emailed IXL Learning's compliance team at compliance@ixl.com requesting a review of access restrictions for users in Syria. The email referenced the December 2025 U.S. Treasury announcement lifting the comprehensive trade embargo, OFAC documentation, and supporting materials from unblocksyria.com/resources. This outreach covers all IXL Learning services including Dictionary.com, Rosetta Stone, Pixlr, and Wyzant.
- 2026-02-24 — Verified. Community testing confirmed that Wyzant is restricted in Syria. A tester on a Syrian IP (5.0.74.x, Chrome on Android) found that wyzant.com loads normally and browsing the site works. The account creation page correctly detects the Syria timezone. However, when attempting to sign in via Google OAuth, the authentication flow completes on Google's side but Wyzant returns a generic error page ("An error occurred — please try again, our system encountered a problem processing your request"). This indicates the site is accessible for browsing but account creation and login are blocked for Syrian users. Status updated from unknown to restricted.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
