It would be easier if you tell us which phrases you heard with on that you think it should be with in.

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- English (US)
in sentences like "I need help in/on math." I believe they can be used interchangeably

when it comes to location for example "he was on the stage" and "he was in the room" that's where the "in" and "on" need to be used differently

@Kiki-4 Well, in this sentence I wouldn't use in or on, I would use "with". In my opinion "in" or "on" is wrong to use.

@Evando I understand what you mean with would work too but I've also heard many people use in and on for that sentence

@Kiki-4 Ok. I can't tell you 100% that it is wrong because I'm not an expert but one thing I can tell you: many Americans, just like Brazilians, make mistakes when speaking English, I don't know where you heard those sentences but I would be careful to where you are looking to learn English. Movies and tv series is a way of practicing listening but not so much proper grammar. TV newscast, documentaries, interviews are a good way to learn the proper English.

@Evando saying "I need help with math" would imply you have a specific math problem you need help with whereas saying "I need help in math" means you need help with math in general

to become fluent in a language you need to become familiar with our slang and the way we speak. speaking proper and with correct grammar all the time is too formal and doesn't sound natural
