These words are synonyms, so they often overlap in meaning. You could say I ____ with your homework, and either word would fit.
You can call for help if you are in danger, help help, assist would not be used there.
Help is used in concrete situations, in general, in ordinary life (e.g. help me by holding a ladder). Assist is used in formal, academic, and institutional situations, as in surgery, where it often means just watching and very occasionally doing something useful, or international diplomacy, where it might mean any sort of request someone else finds useful.
