I think you are just missing a space between Student and span.

$('.profile-text').text("I am a web developer");

$( '.profile-header').html("Student <span>Profile</span>");

Most probably. I tried many times but the challenge disconnected every time so I was not able to verify it.

EDIT: made it through now. It was that.
