Show Me, Sensei: A Student-Teacher Romance

Rate this book
Love comes in all shapes and sizes, but Kelly Young had no idea it'd come in the form of her most hated teacher, Mr. Todd.


Kelly Young has never been one to follow the standard rhythm of learning. It’s not that she’s slow—she swears—but concepts just take a little longer to click for her. One thing she does know with certainty: she’s never been able to stand Mr. Todd. The man is arrogant, irritable, and so unbearably self-assured that it grates on every nerve she has. Sure, he's undeniably handsome—probably the most handsome man she's ever seen—but what's the point of looks when the personality is the complete opposite? To Kelly, it’s simple: she can’t stand him. And, as far as she can tell, the feeling is more than mutual.

For Nikolai Todd, perfection is everything. His world is structured, precise, and above all, orderly. Kelly Young, with her spontaneous, sometimes chaotic energy, represents everything he loathes. The girl is messy, impulsive, and seems incapable of understanding the importance of detail. To him, she’s a walking disruption in his otherwise controlled life.

But this semester, fate has a cruel sense of humor. Kelly is put into his class, and now she has no choice but to face the man she despises—the man who seems to be everything she’s not, yet also the one person who challenges every single thing she thought she knew about herself.

100/5❤️ 1/5🌶️
Finally! FINALLY!!! We have this masterpiece as a printed version. Ahh life is good again.
I love everything about this book, the characters, the romance, the side storylines, the OWD, the OMD, EVERY-FUCKING-THING.
And let me tell you about the slow burn, perfectly done!! I don’t know what the hell Tiffany put into this book but it’s addicting as hell.
No wonder I read this book 10 times in 2022, it’s just that good.❤️❤️❤️

I read this most adorable book four years ago on Wattpad, and I kid you not—it is my most favourite book ever. This book flows in my veins, I swear. You might think I’m exaggerating or something, but that’s not true. I’m a bibliophile and I’ve read a lot of books by so many authors, yet this Wattpad gem remains the most exquisite one for me. Even my friends can tell how obsessed I am with it (I made them read it too)—and of course, they loved it.

This book is so well-written. Each character—even the side ones—is just too good. Like Derrick, the best friend we all deserve. Mia—cute lil Mia. Nathan, Jaggar, Ikaya, Keith, Kevin, Caroline, Ms. Smith—God! I know I sound obsessed, but this book is just that good.

And Mr. Todd… God, I’ve never seen a character as intimidating as Nikolai mf Todd. Oh, to be Kelly…
And Kelly—that girl—the innocence she holds, such a pure soul, her amazing personality, her humour, her facepalm moments… it's all just so wholesome.

The storyline is so good that there's not a single boring chapter.

Nikolai and Kelly make my heart race so fast, I can’t stop kicking my feet, giggling, blushing—and the butterflies? Let’s not even go there.

Imagine reading a slow burn so good that you can’t put the book down once you start. This book is just so intimidating—Nik himself has me in a chokehold the whole freaking time.
And the way—the way—he talks? Man, the author deserves an Oscar for that. Seriously, how can a man be so hot just by talking?

I’ve read this book a thousand times, and I still read it whenever I want to feel better. It’s my comfort book. By now, I remember the scenes line by line—and the fact that I still don’t get bored?
Crying. Screaming. Throwing up.

I’ve been waiting for this book to turn into paperback for ages, and I can’t believe the bestest writer finally published it. I’m so, so jealous of the people who are going to read it for the first time. I can’t even express in words how in love I am with this book. 10000/10 ❤️‍🔥😭😮‍💨🤌🏻

I have no words. I genuinely don't know how to express how much I love this book. A million stars, Tiffany deserves a million smooches, and Nick and Kelly are everything to me. When Volume II comes out I will be the first bitch purchasing and I'm so serious! Also hoping and praying for a Volume III... #iykyk.

Woah, this book is so good, I can’t even express it in words.
It’s just perfect.
I haven’t read a romance novel like this in a while.
It shows pure love, and the slow burn is killing me in the best way possible.
I can’t wait for the second part!

The only thing that kept me entertained was Derrick & Mia.(Kelly’s Bestfriend)
What I didn’t like
- The MMC. He had no personality besides being an asshole teacher. He was an asshole to her basically the whole time.
- The FMC. Kinda acted her age, Maybe a little more immature than that. She was whiny, always crying, and had no backbone.
- The writing style
- I didn’t feel the chemistry

Teacher x Student
Age Gap (18 & 25)
Grumpy MMC
Virgin FMC
Slow Burn
OWD(MMC is not interested in OW, he just wants to be friends)
No real OMD/Cheating/Sharing
Intimate Scenes with OP (OW kisses MMC)
Dual POV (First & Third Person)
Cliffhanger

P.S. They don’t get together in this book. They get close to being intimate but don’t actually doing anything intimate.

The end did start to get interesting so I will be reading book 2.

I love, love, love this book. I’m so happy there is finally a printed version of this masterpiece. I remember reading it years ago in a darker time of my life and it helped me a lot. It is my all time favorite. I reread it at least 5 times already and I’m not getting tired of it. Though I’m sad it’s not the whole story. I can’t wait for Volume 2!!!!

Fuck yes, I remember first reading this book on Wattpad four years ago and it was perfect, and now being able to read it 4 years later, and having a physical copy is so much more enjoyable. This book is still my favourite book I have ever read. Nik and Kelly have a very special place in my heart.

"Show Me, Sensei: A Student-Teacher Romance (Volume 1)" by Tiffany S. Seaton is a top - notch student - teacher romance novel. Okay, this novel falls in the genre of perfect slow- burn romance. I really had a great experience with this book . It's a great fit for those hunting for a comedy blended with an enemies - to -lovers plot. I was satisfied with Kelly's effort to show maturity in her personality and her shift in focus from absentmindedness to her studies. Mr. Todd played a pivotal role in shaping her overall personality. I was in awe of Mr. Todd 's caring attitude, as he always kept her on the right track. This is the best Student- Teacher romance book I have ever read in my life. But the hardest truth is that it's volume 2 is not available in India. Hopefully, it becomes available at a reasonable price in my country soon. I barely rate a book 5 stars.

I read this book on Wattpad in 2022 and absolutely loved it. I've re-read it so many times I won't be surprised if I know every line by heart. While I don't have the physical copy yet, I'd be thrilled if I'm chosen to win the giveaway. That being said I really am proud of you Tiffany, you've come a long way. ❤️
