Stephen Pitz has spent the last eleven years honing his craft.During the 1997 / 1998 school term Stephen Pitz taught second and third grade at a Catholic School in Bronx, New York. This location allowed him to adapt teaching styles in a large urban class environment with diverse academic backgrounds. He expanded his influence in academics by assessing and developing new curriculum for language arts, math and science courses. Additionally he taught an after school program for kindergarten through second grade serving as both teacher and mentor. Outside the classroom, he enjoys writing, directing and producing theater performances.

These skills were developed in diverse urban cultures to broad cross sections of academic and socioeconomic people groups.
