Crossword Genius

Students troubled as tutor gasped (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

postgraduates

'students' is the definition.
(postgraduate is a kind of student)

'troubled as tutor gasped' is the wordplay.
'troubled' is an anagram indicator.
'as'+'tutor'+'gasped'='astutorgasped'
'astutorgasped' anagrammed gives 'POSTGRADUATES'.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
