Helping person out of Asian tram (9)
I believe the answer is:
samaritan
'helping person' is the definition.
'Samaritan' can be an answer for 'person' (Samaritan is an example). I am unsure of the 'helping' bit.
'out of asian tram' is the wordplay.
'out of' indicates anagramming the letters.
'asian'+'tram'='asiantram'
'asiantram' with letters rearranged gives 'SAMARITAN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for samaritan that I've seen before include "Counsellor" , "good-hearted man" , "One offering help to the suicidal" , "a helpful sort" , "(Good) helpful person" .)
