Our Team
Imagine having a near-peer mentor who knows you better than your teachers, knows the material you’re learning better than anyone, and holds you accountable to your best self. That’s who we strive to be for every student at Streamline. School can feel competitive and stressful, but working 1-on-1 transforms learning into an open personal challenge.
