Is being a volunteer useful for academic prospective?

Question

Is being a maths "tutor" volunteer at sites like [MATHNERDS](http://www.mathnerds.com/) useful in terms of "good impression" for future academic prospectives?

Answer 1

Yes it can make a good impression depending on your professional goals. Tutoring also reinforces what you already know and helps your competence in the subject area. When using it for academic recognition, it can show community service as well as your dedication to the subject. Hope that helps! - Alisha P.
