Work from home as a Test Rater for Educational Testing Service!

The TOEIC is a language proficiency test designed for people whose native language is not English.

You must also hold a B.A. degree or higher from an accredited school. In addition, ETS states that they prefer raters with some experience teaching ESL (or similar courses) at the high school, college, or adult learning level.
