peer tutors
Classmates who teach
Peer tutors are students who help other students learn, typically in the same school or at a similar academic level.
The arrangement assumes rough equality—peers teaching peers rather than experts teaching novices: The writing center relies on peer tutors to help undergraduates with essays.
Peer tutoring programs are common in schools and universities, pairing students who've mastered material with those still struggling.
