How to extend Django User model with two different profiles?

Is it possible to create two different profiles and have them both extend Django User Model. I am trying to create a student profile and a teacher profile, how should I go about doing this? My student profile has attributes such as courses taken, but the teacher should not have access to taking courses, only create them.

You can inherit the django builtin User Models class into any number of models.

from django.contrib.auth.models User

class Course(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(-----)

class Teacher(User):
    pass

class Course(models.Model):
    teacher = models.ForeignKey(Teacher)

class Student(User):
    courses = models.ManyToManyField(Course)

You can create multiple models inherit User model.

class Teacher(User):
    pass

class Course(models.Model):
    teacher = models.ForeignKey(Teacher)

class Student(User):
    courses = models.ManyToManyField(Course)
