Same person unable to be a tutor and student

While trying to add a student with the same phone number as a tutor (i.e., the same person wants to be a tutor and student at the same time), the application returns an error message saying the phone number already exists:

However, there could be a scenario in which a student can also be a tutor. For instance, a university student may require tuition for tertiary subjects (TerMath) for instance, but can also be a tutor for primary school subjects (PriMath).
