A. Absolutely! Once you start sessions, you will feel more confident with the test and the topics it covers.

Q. Do I have to take a full length test before I start tutoring sessions for the SAT/ACT?
A. Yes, all students take 3 assessments when onboarding with Streamline take a full length diagnostic (3-4.5 hours) and the iSavant Assessment (5 minutes). These assessments help us determine the best test, tutor and curriculum schedule.

Q. I am not sure if I should take the SAT or ACT?
A. Streamline will help determine the best test for a student. Should a student start tutoring sessions and then want to switch tests, we will work with the tutor and the intake team at Streamline to make sure it is in the best interest of the student.

A. Streamline offers subject tutoring for all middle, high school and college courses, along with ISEE, GRE and GMAT tutoring.

The Tutorial gives students a tremendous advantage in helping them to integrate key reading, math, and writing skills while helping them become the best version of themselves as learners.
