Tortuga describes a person who is very studious and cares a lot about grades and studying.
Originally derived from studious people who wear big backpacks as high up as possible, making them look like a turtle, tortuga has now come to describe any person who is exceptionally scholarly and hard-working.

Look at Corinna, she's in the library every Friday. What a tortuga!!
John would rather study that come play football. He's such a tortuga.
