May I suggest, on the basis of what you have written, proof reading both generally, and specifically student dissertations and theses.
I am sure that you are aware of the limitations of spell checker, even when it is used. I built up a small reputation at the university I worked for for proof reading technical and scientific theses, even though I rarely had any clue as to the subject matter. A generalisation I know, but talent in the hard sciences does not necessarily go hand in hand with punctuation and grammatical skills.
Advertising in student rags may be a start, or if you live near a university flyers on departmental notice boards, hopefully leading on to word of mouth recommendations.
You could do this online and perhaps you could fit it around a standard part time job.
In any case you have my best wishes in the making ends meet department
