Adele is a Coach, she is trying to Edit her profile.
At the bottom you can see there is Profile Type Field. And she select Teacher.
Reload the profile and here is the result. She is now a teacher.
If you now Uncheck the box and Update the Teacher profile, then the Teacher option will not be available to select as a profile type.
