English translation:monitor
Explanation:
We had various monitors in our class at school. These were children given small responsibilities so as to make them feel a bit more valued. Like my cynical nine-year old niece, whose teachers got so fed up with her cynical rebellious attitude that they made her a monitor!

Aluno monitor refers specifically to a student, so I guess this is the best answer.

  -> Neither term refers to the person being a student. I think you are referring to the student monitor portion of my response. This term is understood to mean the person is monitoring students, not that the person is a student him/herself.
disagree  Isabel Remelgado: eu acho que o monitor É aluno, senão seria uma monitor assistente e não seria utilizada a palavra
