To sign "help me," start by forming a "thumbs up" with your dominant hand and placing it on top of your flat, palm-up non-dominant hand. Keep both hands together and bring them inward toward your chest. This directional movement indicates that the help is being directed toward you.
Sign "help me" by bringing the hands toward your chest, and raise your eyebrows while leaning slightly forward to indicate a yes/no question.

To sign "I help you," you use the exact same handshapes, but you change the direction of the movement. Instead of pulling the hands toward your chest, you push them outward toward the person you are offering to help.
Yes, your dominant hand (the hand you write with) should be the one making the "thumbs up" shape on top. Your non-dominant hand acts as the flat, supportive base underneath.
