Whew, taking into consideration your usage and sentence structure? Probably not much.
There is writing work, editing work, voice recording work, test prep teaching, and of cousre ESL teaching and tutoring. If you are on a student visa, you can work 20 hours a week.
The incomes for these different types of work vary. No reason to hazard a guess unless you have been handed a concrete opportunity. |

English might not be the OP's native language/might not be looking for English language related work at all.
I think there are a bunch of jobs available for part-time work for people who have a good level of Korean (but most don't pay much -- for example, I had a friend who worked at a chicken place). I guess there might be jobs available on campus too. I suppose there might be a department of your university that you can ask. If your Korean isn't good already, though, I really don't know.
I think we need more information to help. What is your native language, how good is your Korean, and what kind of work are you looking to do? |

No degree and not an English speaker.
Depending on your country of passport your options (for legal, part-time work) are severely limited due to visa restrictions and doubly so due to language and credential issues.

my native language is arabic and i m good in french too, i speak english too (not as good as french) and i understand it very well but i can't teach it because they need native english teachers so i can't do it.
I applyed for korean courses (fall session) i think i can pass directly to lvl 2 cuz i'm learning korean online and i'm doing well until now.
i can do any job that dooesn't touch the one's degnity and i can't do entertaining jobs like dancing modeling...etc |

Actually, there are very few employment opportunities for you since you don't have a degree and are not a "Native speaker of English" effectively ruling out the most common part time work for foreign students (working as a tutor) and you can't work for the first 6-months of your sojourn anyway.
You may find a job in the service industry (waiter/busboy, dishwasher) but those are typically done by Koreans (and your Korean may not be good enough for a waiter position).
Most other service level jobs tend to be full-time rather than part-time.
It's going to be a knock on doors and make connections with your classmates to see what you can dig out.
