Question

How was Helen tutored by Mr. Merton S. Keith of Cambridge? 10 Or Give a brief character sketch of Helen Keller.

Answer 1

Answer:

From February 1898, Mr. Keith came out to Wrentham twice a week and taught Helen algebra, geometry, Greek, and Latin. Miss Sullivan interpreted his instruction. For eight months Mr. Keith gave her lessons five times a week in periods of about an hour, explaining each time what Helen did not understand in the previous lesson, assigning her new homework and taking home with him the Greek exercises which she had written during the week on her typewriter, correcting them fully and returning them to her. In this way, Helen’s preparation for college continued without interruption under Mr. Keith’s guidance. Helen found it much easier and more pleasant to be receiving personal tuition and attention.
