There are thousands of people at WikiAnswers willing to help you out. However, just giving you test or homework answers wouldn't be helping you at all. It would actually be cheating and that is not what the site is all about.
It always helps to search for a third party website (like this one) that can help explain the material.
If you would like some tips or help getting through your homework, there is a category just for this.
