We're committed to providing a fun, engaging environment where your child can confidently develop their English skills while building a love for learning.

Hello! I’m Erica Hofstetter-Cust, a CELTA-certified English teacher from Vancouver Island, Canada, and the founder and manager of Custom Kids.

Twenty-five years ago, I embarked on what was meant to be an 18-month adventure in Switzerland - but life had other plans! That journey turned into a permanent home, where I built a life with my Swiss husband, Markus, and our three amazing daughters:

Sienna (22), and twins Raia and Taiven (19).

They’re lucky to be growing up bilingual!
