The MacPherson Language Institute

The Founder

Keith MacPherson, a native of Canada and founder of The MacPherson Language Institute, first opened the doors in April 2015. He has been working in Hamburg as an English language trainer since arriving in 2010. Keith began his career at the Berlitz Language Center. Later, he went on to work at the Hamburg School of English where he received further specialized training and experience.

Keith has worked with several international companies, as well as prominent Hamburg firms like Kreditech, Hauni and Axel Springer. Keith now spends most of his time on the management of the MacPherson Language Institute. However, he still reserves some time each week for the classroom.

Being in the classroom and engaging with new students is what makes this job fun!

Through his years teaching in Hamburg, Keith has established an extensive network of quality language teachers and translators. And now, he is proud to say that many of them work with him at MLI. These highly trained native speakers bring a wealth of experience and are the backbone of the service that MLI offers. For them, being in the classroom and engaging with new students is what makes this job fun!

Keith insists on providing an atmosphere where both student and teacher enjoy their time together as well as feel challenged. He encourages his staff to listen to the clients, as well as themselves, when planning their courses. No two students are the same, and therefore, no two lessons should be the same. Furthermore, everyone should walk out of class with a sense of accomplishment and want to come back the next day.
