I've seen threads on this with a lot of mixed info so please lmk of any insights on my specific type of tutoring being considered leadership.

I do have other, more "traditional" forms of leadership in clubs and projects, but this is the most significant and long-term for me. I worked as a writing center tutor or for years, which I guess tutoring can be argued to be separate from leadership, but we also had many meetings required each semester for pedagogy development and had to work on our own projects as well as with teams in order to further collaborate and improve our techniques, practices etc. It felt leadership-heavy, but I'm not sure if I should just keep it separate and focus on something else for leadership

Teaching/tutoring is also highly valued, so I wouldn't worry about putting it as leadership since that wasn't your primary responsibility. I tutored for a few years and included it as teaching/tutoring, which I felt was the most appropriate. You could split it up between the two, but I don't think you need to.

Unless you were the one organizing and leading these meetings, I would not count it as leadership. Either way, this is a good EC

Label it Teaching/Tutoring, or Employment-Not Medical/Clinical. Even though I wouldn't consider the activity you've discussed to be the peer leadership adcomms expect to see under a Leadership tag, it's still an excellent demonstration of teamwork.
