study partners

Shared homework companions

Study partners are people who work together on academic material, typically meeting to review notes, quiz each other, or prepare for exams.

The arrangement implies mutual benefit rather than tutoring: We were study partners all through law school.

The term sometimes serves as a euphemism for a romantic relationship that began in an academic setting.
