* Chisato Higuchi from ''Manga/AsobiAsobase'' is a sweet, kind teacher who's also a pushover, has [[OldMaid a huge complex about being unmarried]], and still hasn't grown out of her love for romantic shoujo manga. The members of the Pastimers Club like her a lot, but at the same time they don't have much respect for her as a teacher since they're quick to bring up that she's still single.

* Aiko Hatayama from ''Literature/ArifuretaFromCommonplaceToWorldsStrongest'' is a twenty-five-year-old high-school teacher that looks like a middle-schooler, and who appears more childish the more she attempts to do her job. Her students love 'Ai-chan' and consider her the class pet.

* There is also the character of Miss Titley in ''Series/TheGrimleys'', who has all the described qualities of ''sensei-chan'' about her and who takes a strong (platonic) pastoral concern in young Grimley.

* Chloe Genus of ''VideoGame/Conception2ChildrenOfTheSevenStars'' is this, mainly because she's super popular with her students, the same age as most of them (she graduated from college at age 14!) and is a very cheerful person. She does get a little miffed about being this trope though.
* Quistis Trepe from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII''. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] by the fact that ''she's the same age as her students'', but managed to graduate several years early, and was insane enough to get a job teaching her former classmates soon after. She ends up losing that job early on in the game due to failing to properly discipline Seifer.
* A female [[PlayerCharacter Byleth]] from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'' zigzags this. On one hand, she's barely older than her mostly teenage students [[note]]At twenty, she's younger than Mercedes (22), Balthus (26), [[spoiler:and [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld Flayn]]]][[/note]] and is rather popular with said students, to the point of even being able to invite them over for a casual tea party. On the other hand, she's a rather stoic and stern ex-mercenary who commands genuine respect from her students even after [[spoiler:she technically stops being a teacher]].
* Instructor Sara in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel'' fits the bill being a young HotTeacher, however it is a bit of a DeconstructiveParody in that Very much so. She is lazy, childish, manipulative, and tends to remind her students to pick up the pace in class or not cause problems else she'd get blamed for them. Naturally, her students have frequent sweat-drop actions and comment how they have little respect for her personality. However, as a combat instructor, she is quite the BadassTeacher being a former [[spoiler: Bracer and Jaeger.]] At one point when two of her students refuse to cooperate despite her instruction to, she personally forces them to work together by going against her in a sparring session. This is a HopelessBossFight that puts the fear of God into both students and firmly establishes her authority among the class.

* Misato in ''VisualNovel/SnowSakura''.



* Taiga Fujimura from ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' plays with this trope; while she's rather immature when off-duty at home, she's generally responsible in her duties as a teacher. She plays it dead straight in the alternate universe spinoff ''Manga/FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya'' though where she's teaching Illya in primary school rather than Shirou in High School.
* Sonou Tsukuyo from ''VisualNovel/KindredSpiritsOnTheRoof'' is a 24-year-old classical literature teacher, but has the appearance of a girl half her age. This is what ends up drawing the affections of her 16-year-old student Kiri, who is obsessed with cute things. Surprisingly, she notably averts the childlike mannerisms of similar characters, and other characters note throughout the game just how mature and responsible she is. That doesn't stop many of her students from calling her "Sonou-chan" (or in Kiri's case, "[[FirstNameBasis Tsukuyo]]-chan") when they should be using "-sensei" on her.

* Miss Grotke from ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' has some shades of this trope. She's pretty much loved by all her students (and takes a CoolBigSis role to Spinelli), young and unmarried (not really a OldMaid, but it's hinted that she's in her early 30s).



* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': When she's not portrayed as an ApatheticTeacher, Mrs. Krabappel comes across like this, particularly when outside of the classroom (though occasionally in it), mostly with her angst about being divorced. [[spoiler: Or at least until she married Ned Flanders.]]
* An odd equine example of this is Cheerilee from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. To illustrate her status further, she's one of the biggest [[EnsembleDarkHorse Ensemble Dark Horses]] in [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff Japan]].

* Kazuko Saotome in ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''. Her EstablishingCharacterMoment is complaining about her love life to her class before introducing the NewTransferStudent... Too bad the poor "girl" lives in a CrapsaccharineWorld.

* ''Anime/PowerOfHopePrecureFullBloom'': As an adult, [[Anime/YesPrettyCure5 Nozomi Yumehara]] has become a teacher at a private elementary school. In class, she makes jokes about ice cream during a lesson about climate change, and many of her students are on a FirstNameBasis with her. She's even more of a [[{{Manchild}} Womanchild]] off the clock, as shown when she's hanging out with Rin.

* ''Fanfic/FateReachOut'': This story deconstructs the trope with [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Taiga Fujimura]]. Taiga became a teacher in her old high school because she didn't really fit in anywhere else after graduating. Unfortunately, her childish behavior didn't earn her the respect she wanted from her students and Taiga felt mocked anytime they called by her nickname.

* ''Manga/HowHeavyAreTheDumbbellsYouLift'' has Satomi Tachibana, the World History teacher at Koyo Women's Academy. She's often seen hanging out with her students and exercising together, to the point she can easily be mistaken for one of them. On top of it, she secretly loves to cosplay under the name Riko Yuria, but constantly frets about being found out since she tries to keep her work life and private life separated.
