Extracurricular, Volunteer, Community Service description?

[Poit]

Do you just describe what you did or do you include what you got out of the experience and how it has made you a more desirable candidate?

Here is one of my descriptions:

"I tutored an under-resourced high school junior for the ACT over the course of 8 weeks. We discussed strategy and went over practice problems in preparation for her April test."

That takes up 176/700 characters. What else do I include?

Edit - I'll defer my opinion to what Goro said.

Straight from the horse's mouth is always better.

Keep it to a bare minimum. For example, just say "Tutoring and test prep".

Save the "What I got out of it" for your essays.
