I have spent around two years teaching refugee adults. I tutored one gentleman for the US citizenship test (which he passed!) and another in learning English. Do these count as teaching or service since it was to a disadvantaged community?

IMO: It is teaching, though I recognize they importance with working with refugees. You are coming in as an expert rather than to help them with other areas of distress such as housing or food.
