Welcome to SWISS READY


What is Swiss Ready?

We’re a team of expats who’ve gone through the process ourselves. Moving to Switzerland, navigating unfamiliar systems, learning the language, and slowly figuring out how things work, often the hard way. That experience is what shaped Swiss Ready.

This isn’t just about German classes. It’s about knowing what to expect at a registration office, how to write a CV that makes sense here, where to look for housing, how to prepare for a job interview in a different language, or what that official-looking letter actually means.

It’s about helping you feel informed, supported, and a little more at home, step by step.

We’ve built Swiss Ready to offer the kind of support we wished we had: practical, personal, and focused on what really matters when you’re starting over in a new place.

Frequently Asked Questions


Who is Swiss Ready for?

Swiss Ready is for expats who want practical support while building a life in Switzerland. It doesn't matter if you’ve just arrived or are still planning your move. We help with language learning, integration, admin tasks, and job preparation.

Do I need to speak German to use your services?

No. Many of our clients are still learning or don’t speak German yet. We’ll guide you in English or Spanish and help you deal with German paperwork, letters, and appointments.

What kind of support do you offer?

We offer online German courses, document translation and writing, job interview coaching, housing and registration guidance, and a full relocation support package for expats.

Can I book just one service, or do I need a full package?

You can choose exactly what you need. Some clients only want help with a document or a private lesson. Others prefer a full package that includes everything from admin help to job coaching.

Do you offer free consultations?

Yes. You can book a free 20-minute consultation to tell us what you need and ask questions before deciding.

Are your services only for new arrivals?

Not at all. Some people come to us right after landing. Others contact us after months, when new challenges appear or they decide it’s time to feel more settled and confident.

Stories From People We’ve Helped


Swiss Ready helped me prepare for job interviews and finally get hired. They took real interest in my situation and offered advice and strategies that fit exactly what I needed.

Clémence, Montpellier/Basel

Swiss Ready walked me through every step when I didn’t know where to start with registration or housing. They made it feel manageable. I highly recommend their service.

Cassandra, Bologna/Basel

Classes with Marta are a lot of fun and she takes great care of getting to know the students and their needs.  She knows how to explain concepts in an easy way and understands German language inside out!

Álvaro, Valencia/Zürich

I needed to write a Kündigung letter to end my rental contract, but I wasn’t sure what I was actually supposed to write. Swiss Ready helped me understand what needed to be included, wrote the letter in proper formal German, and explained how and when to send it.
