I have several hundred hours of non-clinical tutoring for children who have been forcibly displaced from their countries of origin and now have refugee/asylum-seeking immigration statuses. I use trauma-informed teaching techniques to not only provide homework help but also primarily provide ESL/ENL help. The large majority of my non-clinical experience has been as a volunteer tutor for underserved communities such as urban refugee ones but also K-12 students in low-resource school districts. Additionally, I teach students who are currently living in conflict-affected countries (specifically Syria) English. I've heard mixed things about the strength of tutoring on an application, so would love to know if this being the majority of my non-clinical experience could pose an issue.
My other teaching experience is more traditional TA stuff at my university but obviously I am not trying to frame that as anything other than "teaching."
