Hi, I’m Liz
I’ve been teaching chemistry and physics since 2007 and running a successful TpT store since 2017. Now I share classroom-tested resources for science teachers and simple growth strategies for TpT sellers who want to succeed without burning out.
I know the juggle is real. I see you…
You’re teaching full-time, keeping up with labs and lessons, and maybe even building your own TpT store after hours.
Whether you’re in the classroom or running your store, the path can feel like an obstacle course. But there’s good news…
You don’t have to do it all on your own.
Maybe...
You’re a science teacher, looking for ready-to-use resources that actually save you time.
You’re a TpT seller who wants to start strong and grow without second-guessing every step.
You’ve tried doing it alone, but now you’re looking for proven tools that make the process easier and more effective.
Let me handle the resources.
I remember when you could work your full-time teaching job AND run your TpT store without being extra tech or business savvy. Yeah, I miss it too.
Things always seem to change, but don’t stress. I’ve got you.
Whether you’re a classroom teacher looking for resources that are classroom-proven to move the needle on student learning, or a TpT seller trying to figure it all out to grow a side income.
I do a thing or two, like…
Want to get to know me?
I’ve always loved science and teaching. Back in 2007, I started teaching chemistry and physics and quickly realized how much I enjoyed creating lessons that actually worked in the classroom.
And then, life shifted. As a newly divorced, single mom in 2017, I opened my TpT store, Elizabeth Smith Education, just hoping to make a little extra income to take my son on vacation. I thought I might earn a few hundred dollars. Instead, that small side-hustle grew into something much bigger and became an answer to prayer.
Through ES Education, I get to combine everything I love: building classroom-tested physics and chemistry resources that engage students and support teachers, and helping other full-time teachers build a meaningful side income, finding success on TpT.
Nearly twenty years later, I’m still teaching, and I’m also sharing what I’ve learned through tools, templates, and strategies designed to make both teaching and income more sustainable.
When you lean into your gifts and share them, you create impact that goes far beyond your own classroom.
It doesn’t matter if you’re teaching physics and chemistry in the classroom, around the kitchen table, or working as a full-time teacher trying to grow on TpT. Let’s make this your moment!
