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.

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who "made math interesting" and "he succeeded in whittling problems small enough to get through her brain."Helen was withdrawn from the Cambridge school because of the differences between Mr. Gilman and Miss. Sullivan.A private tutor Mr. Keith was appointed to teach Helen. He succeeded in whittling problems small enough to get through her brain. This improved her ability and she could solve the questions logically and systematically.
