Question

what do you know about mr keith as helen keler teacher?

Answer 1

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.

Merton S. Keith was Helen's mathematics teacher. He also helped Helen with Greek and Latin. He lived in Cambridge, Massachusetts. For months, Mr. Keith tutored Helen twice a week. Eventually, he increased their instructional time to five one-hour sessions per week.

Mr. Keith was a patient teacher. Helen felt that she was not bright in math, but despite this Mr. Keith "was always gentle and forbearing." He was a teacher who "made [math] interesting" and "he succeeded in whittling problems small enough to get through [her] brain." Math was one of Helen's weakest subjects, so her teacher simplified the content to make it easier for her to grasp.

As Helen's entrance exams to Radcliffe College approached, Mr. Keith worked hard to prepare her. They were anxious about whether or not Helen would pass, but Mr. Keith remained devoted to helping his student. Helen passed and was able to enter Radcliffe. Mr. Keith continued to tutor her for one more year.
