Vocabulary

Trainer, coach, tutor, instructor....

Hello!
How do we usually call a person who leads business courses such as “Leadership skills” or “Negotiation skills”? Can I use “a trainer” in this context?
And if we talk about “PC skills” courses or “Sewing ” courses, what do we use in these cases?

'Instructor' sounds most acceptable to me in all those cases. I realize that all those terms are in use, but to me 'trainer' and 'coach' sounds like advisors for physical activities, while 'tutors' help matriculated students.
