<p>Hi!</p>
<p>I am a student living outside USA. I am currently doing my undergraduates in Bangladesh and I plan to transfer my credits to USA. . I am also a US permanent resident(green card holder) along with my mother. </p>
<p>I am currently facing a problem with the extracurricular activities and work experience section of the Common Applications (transfer). I love to teach and I have been teaching my friends for as long as I have known them. During my GCE Olevel and Alevel exams I used to spend hours teaching my friends (a minimum of 6hours every week). I even used to take their mock examninations and grade them. Even now that I am in college, I teach many of my classmates at my home. The time spent usually varies (1/2 hours every week). During finals week there were days where i have to teach for 10 hours straight. I hope I don't sound like I am bragging or even trying to make something look bigger than it actually is. It's just that I like teaching. </p>
<p>Now, the thing is I really wanted to include my teaching experience in the common application. Since I am not making any monetary gain out of this experience I cannot just write private tutor. I am trying to think of an appropriate term to describe this activity. So far I came up with volunteer tutoring to high school/college level students. However, I feel the term volunteer seems like a bit of exaggeration since at the end of the day I was just teaching my friends and not doing any real community work. I dont want to completely avoid mentioning this teaching experience either since it is very important to me. </p>
<p>So, basically can anyone help me figure out an appropriate term for this activity? Your help will be really appreciated. Thank you in advance.</p>
