can we put tutoring on our applications?
i know that if you tutor through a school or something isno problem

but i tutor a group of friends in organic chem and gen chem and bio every wednesday, its not through an organization or anything so could i put this on my application?
if so, will any dental schools ask for proof or something?

if you are getting paid, you might be able to put it under employment. a lot of dental schools believe in the honor code system and chances are <5% people probably lie on their application. if adcoms feel you are lying about something on your application, more often than not they will bring it up during the interview and if you can defend your "activities" well, then im sure they will believe you without any hard proof.

Sure man, I don't think you have to even get paid for it. It is one of those things that your interviewers might see on the app and say something like, "so tell us about your "tutoring" experiences". Shouldn't be a problem at all.
