Default Hard time taking off

I am learning to fly and I do have an instructor. I can keep the plane up and land it. When I tryed to take off I thought that the hard part was behind me. However, I am having trouble taking off. I am having trouble keeping the plane running in a straight line. The plane I have is a Superstar 40. My question is, do you line up the front wheel and let it run down an incline and lock it in place when it rolls straight or do you go to the field and with wing attached, let it run down the runway and take into consideration the torque from the engine pushing it to the left, make an adjustment so that it will track strainght? I have made all the adjustments I can make with my transmitter to make the wheel movement less sensitive. Thanks for any help you can give me.
