A tutor who specializes in the PERT exam will practice subject areas with the students that pertain to reading, writing, and mathematics. “PERT” breaks down as “Postsecondary Education Readiness Test” and this exam will determine if the student is ready for college level work. This test typically determines what courses students will begin with when entering college, so a tutor in this subject area will provide the student with test practice as well as college-level comprehension in multiple subject areas.
