“Volunteering by assisting an elderly woman with everyday chores for almost two years now.”

Sounds good? Thats just me helping my mom.

“Tutored a younger child and assisted in SAT, math, and foreign language. Was able to teach him lifelong skills and greatly influenced me and my future aspirations.”

That’s just me helping my bro at hw, talking about girlfriends.

Really, colleges normally don’t call up people and demand for proof, but if you want to flaunt something, flaunt something better. Tutoring a child doesn’t help unless you have hours, or did it through a program. It especially isn’t competitive against those who volunteered in Ghana or did a summer research camp.
