Please briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities or work experiences. (150 word limit)

With parents both graduating from teacher colleges, teaching always has an incredible charm to me. I started my tutoring business in Grade 10 for some pocket money, but tutoring is much more challenging than I imagined. I work with students who desperately needed to pass their courses yet had only two weeks left in school. I have taught students with dyslexia but still wanted to pursue higher education. My youngest student is only 5 but oldest is in his 50's. By working with people from different academic backgrounds and ages, I really got to see the world and learn how to communicate effectively. This summer, I started my online IELTS tutorials and have taught over 50 students since then. My high school life has been completely changed after being a tutor because it brings me confidence, enhances my leadership skills and builds incredible connections.

Not trying to be rude, but I'd add more activities that you participated in high school. Tutoring can't be the main subject you put in the blurb; I believe this is for the Common Application, so just spice it up. Were you in a club, on a sports team (etc)?
