So I have strong ECs and such, but would like to pick up some extra cash. I would charge about $10 an hour to tutor and probably work about 5 hours a week. My question is, how will adcoms view this? Will they discredit it because it's not tutoring job within a college/organization? I've done this in the past using word of mouth and Craigslist to advertise my tutoring services. However, I don't want to start it if it's going to take time from my schedule and will seem frowned upon.
The reason I don't tutor with my university or other organization is because my schedule is already packed (18 credits + 20-25 hours of ECs/week) and I can't work the 15-20 hours my university requires. Also, I can make my own schedule doing this which is a big plus!
