Due to a difference of opinion between Miss Sullivan and Mr. Gilman, Helen was pulled out of school and was home tutored instead by Mr Keith. Mr Keith taught Helen Latin,Greek,geometry and algebra. Mr Keith acted as a guiding force to Helen.Initially he tutored Helen twice a week but eventually he began tutoring her five times a week. He was very forbearing. He,every class, revised along with Helen whatever he had taught her previously and assigned her homework which he later corrected. Mr Keith's tranquility in teaching made Helen's least favourite subject,mathematics, interesting. He trained her to think logically and critically instead of jumping to conclusions wildly. He was extremely gentle. Mr Vining,an instructor who was employed to make brailles for Helen sent an American braille for algebra and geometry the day before the exam. This caused a dismal Helen to panic as she was used to the english braille. Despite being distressed,Mr Keith did not lose hope. He took Helen to the college earlier than the reporting time for the exam and got Mr Vining to explain Amerian braille. However one drawback of Mr Keith was he had relied too much on Helen's ability to solve problems mentally. Hence Helen had trouble writing the examination. Before going to college, Helen was tutored by Mr. Keith for another year. Mr Keith proved to be a wonderful teacher and had played an important role in Helen's life.

Hi ashish
Merton S. Keith was the math and classics tutor who helped Helen Keller as she studied and prepared to enter Radcliffe. While Keller and her teacher, Anne Sullivan, lived in Wrentham, outside Boston, Mr. Keith (who lived in Cambridge) came out twice a week to tutor Keller in Latin, Greek, algebra, and geometry. Later, when Keller lived in Boston, Mr. Keith taught Helen Keller five days a week.
Mr. Keith was extremely patient with Keller, who had many obstacles in solving math problems, as she could not see the problems. She often had to construct geometrical figures on a cushion with curved wires, and she had to remember the lettering of the figure and other aspects of a geometric proof in her head. Mr. Keith also made the mathematical work interesting to Keller and taught her how to reason her way through the problems. It was difficult for Keller to pass her Radcliffe examinations in math, as she did not understand the Braille corresponding to the mathematical symbols, but she applied herself to doing so and passed her exams. Mr. Keith then tutored her for another year before she entered college, and he was an encouraging and patient teacher.
