to work part-time
I have found a part-time job recently. I think I need to work not only to make money but have something to do after class and weekend. It is almost everyone have a part-time job in our class. Most of them are a teacher assistant in cram school. They teach elementary schools students English. They can learn experiences by their job. I think it is a good opportunity to learn some experiences. But I’m not sure that if I have time to work part-time and do my school works at the same time. It makes me confused, but I would like to have a try.

You shouldn't use the present perfect in your first sentence, just the simple past: "I found a part-time job recently".
"but to have something to do"
"and on weekends".
This is a very interesting statement. I've never met a STUT student who complained about having too much free time at night and on weekends. Quite the opposite, in fact. All I've heard people complain about is how much schoolwork they have and how little time they have to do it. I suggest that you spend your free time reading English written by native speakers so that you won't make the kinds of usage errors you've made in most of your posts. Here are some examples:
"Most of them are a teacher assistant in cram school." This plural subject requires a plural complement: "are teaching assistants in cram schools." I know that most of them are not a single teching assistant, but I don't know whether they all work for the same or different cram schools. I'll guess that they work for different schools.
"my school works" is supposed to be "my school work".
"It makes me confused,": All of you should think about whether you should use this structure, which is poor style in this case, instead of the most common alternative, turning the adjective "confused" into a verb: "It confuses me", which is much better.
"They teach elementary schools students" should be "They teach elementary school students".
"They can learn experiences by their job." Awful! It has to be "They can gain teaching and other life experience from their jobs."
You need to read a lot more English so that you can look other people in the eye and truthfully say "I can read and write good English. My BA in Applied English from STUT is not just something my parents bought and paid for along with my school clothes".
Well, it is a good chance for a college student to have work experience. However, you should balance your study and work. And I hope you have a happy part-time job.
"A Part-time job" might be a better topic for this post, isn't it?
Generally speaking, this problem of dealing with part-time job and school work is very common. It would be good to raise more examples or inform the readers what you think about; otherwise, it sounds a bit vague.
If you have time after your school work, it is good to have a part-time job. you can gain many experiences from your job. However, it is difficult to manage your time, especially you are a college student now.
Anyway, I hope you can find a suitable part-time job and you can manage your time well.
You can try to have a part-time job a while. making money probably is not the most imporant thing for right now, but having a experience in the part-time job is a good idea. Therefore, if you can handle your homework well, you can try to have a part-time job.
To be honest, working part-time as a T.A. can earn you extra experience and allows you to shop more crazyil when you are iin a department store. However, I talked with some other T.A.s in our class, I found most of them are not working in a good environment. If you are sure to do this kind of job, please do ask some of our classmates for comments. As the saying goes,"think twice before you leap".
