You are very close.

Line 1 in router.js:

var profile = require("./profile.js");

should be

var Profile = require("./profile.js");

and line 20 in router.js:

studnetProfile.on("end",function(profileJSON){

should be 

studentProfile.on("end",function(profileJSON){

Thanks, that solved it for me. I am new to this perspective, coming from java servlets and spring node is proving to be something else. Thank you now I can move forward with the course.
