Could you please explain this sentence?

Thanks for the help!

"I helped her with her studying" would probably be more common. "With" and "in" are about the same. "Study" as a simple noun could refer to a specific "research study" which I helped her with, or it could refer to a long-term association, helping her over a long period of time, rather than on a single occasion.

I don't see much difference between "with" and "in." Perha
