Rachel Cimera
Hello, my name is Rachel Ann Cimera, 施睿秋! Bethlehem, Pennsylvania is my hometown. I have always loved foreign languages. I feel that knowing another language is a gift, an asset, and an honor. Students are the global ambassadors of tomorrow and knowing a second language is a gateway to many opportunities. I want my students to succeed and thrive to reach their fullest potential in order to achieve their dreams and to apply what they have learned beyond the classroom. The world is getting smaller everyday with the use of modern technology, learning a second language provides them the ability to learn about other cultures or even use the language as a tool for their future occupational use, relocation, study, and/or traveling needs.
I have taught for over three years with English First where I gained experience teaching English as a Second Language to students in Beijing, China. I received a CertTESOL certification from the Trinity College of London. I studied Chinese as my major in university and secondary education as well at Northampton Community College, Bloomsburg University, and at Beijing Normal University. I am currently working on my master’s degree in education from Relay GSE and currently enrolled within the ARTC program there. I have experience teaching individuals from a wide range of ages for students two and a half years of age to adults in China. In the US, I am in my second year of teaching at Caesar Rodney High School. I taught my first year at Fifer Middle School as a Chinese Immersion Teacher and helped to teach Chinese at the high school as well. I really look forward to a great year and helping our students soar towards being their best selves and learning another language. 加油!

Ines Juchem
Hallo and Willkommen! My name is Ines Juchem and I am currently in my 10th year of teaching. I was born and raised in Germany. My family and I always liked to travel to learn about other countries and cultures. Prior to moving to the US, I finished high school and my undergraduate studies in Germany.
I received my Masters of Business Administration from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania and worked many years in International Market Research. There, I gained extensive knowledge of global business practices, with a focus on culture and language.
After I had our daughter, I received a second Master's degree in Education, with a focus on Special Education and Autism. I have taught German, French, Spanish and Mandarin Chinese in grades K-12 over the past years.
Today I am very excited to be teaching German at Caesar Rodney High School. I have been teaching at CRHS since 2016. I truly enjoy teaching and hope to share my enthusiasm for languages, cultures, and lifelong learning with all of my students. I am looking forward to a great year! Thank you for letting me teach your child!
