Daniel Mulvey is a native of the San Francisco Bay Area, but has lived there and also many different places around the globe. Being an English language instructor since 1999 has allowed him to live and work in several foreign countries on five different continents including South Korea, Japan, China, Australia, Poland, the United States and Brazil. Virtually all of this teaching experience has been at the university and college level. He holds a B.A. in Spanish and an M.A. in English with a concentration in Linguistics, both from Arizona State University, as well as the Cambridge CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) he received from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Australia. As an English Language Fellow at the Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, he headed weekly Teacher Education seminars on American culture as a continuation to the teacher training seminars he taught the previous semester. He also instructed several post-graduate and undergraduate English classes, served as an English liaison in extracurricular activities including speaking at English teaching conferences within China, served as the English pronunciation coach for the university baseball program, and worked on a video project series with his students on English learning issues that give his students’ difficulties to be posted on the US Embassy website as well as editing a book of 100 traditional Chinese medicine stories recently translated by students of medicine in continuation of the many editing projects he has taken up over his career.

When not learning about Chinese medicine and culture, Daniel likes to spend time reading contemporary literature, doing Pilates, studying Mandarin Chinese and several other languages and last but not least, preparing exciting lesson plans using brain-based learning methods. His English teaching career has spanned over a decade and has taught a wide array of English subjects ranging from topics as diverse as multi-media English and Reading. His favorite subject to teach is Pronunciation using phonetics and phonology and the use of word stress and sentence stress, which are also useful in English Listening courses he has taught.

Daniel''s number one goal is for his students to be able to comfortably converse in English with anyone at any time.
