Hello teacher, I have a question about this sentence "Can you do me for a little quick?". It means the person wants me to do right now or wants me to do if I am free?
Thank you very much!

Hi Helmet,

Welcome to the forum.

The question should probably be:
Can you do this for me as quick as possible? (now)

You can also say it as:

Can you do this for me (right) now? (now)
Can you do this for me as soon as possible? (now or when free)
Can you do this for me when you get a chance? (when free)
