Site Builder Section: Instructor

Add one or more instructor bios to show off their expertise — and get potential students excited to use your product!

About This Section

An Instructor(s) section can be added to any page on your site. Use this section to give prospective students more information about who is teaching or facilitating your products!

In order to make use of this section, you must have some Instructor information populated in your site. The instructor titles, name and bios are all taken from your Instructors list; learn more about how to manage your Instructors.

Section Customization

Settings: The show instructor email checkbox controls whether or not to include an email link in the instructor's profile.

Headings: The heading is the title for the entire section, and the subheading appears directly below the heading. Alignment controls the alignment of the heading and subheading.

Layout: You can remove top or bottom section padding if there appears to be too much space between this and adjacent sections.

Instructor Bio: Select the Instructor you wish to profile from the drop-down. You can Add instructor bios if you want to feature more than one instructor; the section will include a carousel control to allow visitors to scroll through the different bios.

Important Considerations

If you want your Instructor bios to include formatting such as paragraphs, line breaks, or italics, you can achieve this by adding HTML mark-up to the Instructor bio on your Thinkific admin site. For example, if you wanted to add a paragraph, you would add a <p> at the beginning of the paragraph, then a </p> at the end.
