Berlin is the best place to live; it has the best ratio between cost of living and quality of it in all of Europe & North America. To earn money on the side, teaching English (just private 1:1 to people at university if you don't have any qualification beyond being a native speaker) or proofreading English will probably be the best. You could also be a waiter, or work at the cashier of a 24 hour store, which allows you some study time, but there are plenty of German students already looking to do those jobs and they don't pay as well.

Yes, 1 on 1 lessons on any difficult school subject are common. I would post at both universities and high school black boards.
