Thomas Sutherland
Founder - Lead Instructor
I have spent two decades training professionals in Business English across industries and international corporate environments. As a bilingual native speaker of American English and Spanish, I have a precise understanding of where communication breaks down for Spanish-speaking professionals — and how to address it.
My training is structured and practical, built around the real workplace situations each professional faces and the specific objectives they need to meet. The focus is always the same: greater fluency, stronger confidence, and the ability to communicate clearly and effectively in English when it matters most.
That experience, and that approach, is what Vocab Connect was founded on.
