Help someone out with doing something

Hello teachers,

What does "help someone out with doing something" mean? Does it have the same meaning as "help someone do something"?

I find the writer's sentence a bit infelicitous. I don't think "help someone out" allows a phrase after it like that. If you help a kid with his homework, you have helped him out; you haven't helped him out with his homework. If you provide him with some of the answers, you might be said to have helped him out with (in the sense "by providing") some answers, but that's different.
