Hi! I'm Tor Nielsen, an American English communication coach from New York.
For more than 20 years, I've helped international professionals improve their English so they can communicate more effectively at work.
I specialize in helping professionals who use English with U.S. colleagues, clients, managers, and business partners.
I hold a Master's Degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) from Columbia University in New York, and I've spent more than two decades teaching English to international students and professionals.
Over the years, I've worked with professionals from countries throughout Latin America, including Costa Rica, Colombia, Mexico, and Panama.
My work has included helping professionals prepare for job interviews, communicate more effectively at work, and build the confidence they need to use English in real business situations.
My coaching focuses on practical communication—not simply learning English grammar.
I help professionals become more effective in situations such as:
Meetings and discussions
Presentations
Client and Customer Conversations
Emails and Workplace Messages
Difficult Conversations
Pronunciation and Clarity
Job Interviews
Speaking with Confidence
I believe business English should be practical, relevant, and immediately useful.
Rather than following a generic textbook, I focus on the situations you actually encounter in your professional life. We identify where communication is getting in the way and work on the language, vocabulary, pronunciation, and strategies that will make a real difference.
Whether you're preparing for an important interview, working with a U.S. team, or simply want to feel more confident speaking English at work, my goal is the same:
Help you communicate more clearly, naturally, and confidently in English.
If you're interested in improving your professional English—or you're a company looking to support the English communication skills of your LATAM team—I'd be happy to talk.
