Fellow turning to move his head? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nod

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'move his head?' is the definition.
'nod' can be an answer for 'move' (nodding is a kind of moving). I'm unsure of the 'his head?' bit.

'fellow turning' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'don' (both can mean an academic).
'turning' is a reversal indicator.
'don' backwards is 'NOD'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nod that I've seen before include "Agree non-verbally" , "Asleep in the land" , "'A . . . is as good as a wink to a blind horse'" , "positive sign" , "Show assent" .)
