Alexis started making videos when the schools closed temporarily during the beginning of COIVD-19 pandemic but under its lockdown, his videos are life-saving for students.
"I was, like, really shocked," Alexis told CBS2. "Things that they probably forgot like before COVID-19, this is like a refresher of what I'm, like, giving them out. It's really cool because they understand it even better the way I'm explaining it to them."
Alexis has become really famous and his tutorials are also very easy to follow. His videos have now started to appear on Google classrooms, helping kids globally to polish their math and science skills. "It reached places like United States, Canada, Australia, the Philippines, Singapore," he said.

Tik Tok has been a famous platform for dance and music videos, so Alexis's work through this platform is really commendable. His mom says, "I'm excited about this. I know he can do this and more. I'm so proud that he helped a lot of people," said Likmilian Hiciano.
When asked what motivates him to make the videos, Alexis's response was simple: "The knowledge I have, like, I want to share it to other people."
According to Education Week, the loss of classroom time will create "longstanding gaps in performance between advantaged and vulnerable students."

It is no secret that after the pandemic ends, things will change greatly and the educational system could be weakened by the political and economic fallout that countries are currently facing.
"I don't think we've had a shock to educational systems of this magnitude, at least to instructional time," said Joshua Goodman, an associate professor of economics at Brandeis University. "
"And part of that is the number of weeks and months of school students are going to be missing. But it's also the fact that a bunch of parents will be unemployed, or that their savings will have vanished, or that someone in their family is sick," he continued.
Students like Alexis can help bridge the understanding gap that this lockdown has caused and hopefully it will compensate for the lost time and knowledge during this pandemic.
