You've just learned how to use the jQuery methods text() and html(). Use the appropriate jQuery method to select the h1

Been stuck for about 30 min, getting tiresome.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1 class="profile-header"></h1>
    <p class="profile-text"></p>

    <script
    src="jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
    <script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
app.js 
$('.profile-text').text('I am a web developer');
$(".class name here").html("string with HTML embedded here");
$('.profile-header').html('Student<span>Profile</span>');

There's been a question like this before: https://teamtreehouse.com/community/youve-just-learned-how-to-use-the-jquery-methods-text-and-html-use-the-appropriate-jquery-method-to-select-the-h1-3

Short answer as you've already written it: You've missed a space between student and the <span>

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