Usage Note
Ayudante is a common-gender noun: el ayudante (male assistant), la ayudante (female assistant), so the article signals sex. It can refer to a professional assistant (ayudante de dirección) or to an academic teaching assistant. It differs from asistente, which is closer to 'personal assistant' or 'attendee' in some contexts.
Examples
"La ayudante organizó todos los documentos."
