It's not a matter of a grammar rule as such - it's a matter of what people say. 'At' and 'against' are used, but 'with' is far more common.
Even if it was homework what difference would it make?
It would make a difference to us. We don't help with homework assignments. Your teacher wants to know what you can do, not what we can do.

Once your homework has been corrected/marked, we can then help with anything you don't understand.
