With the outbreak of COVID-19, aka the coronavirus, upending our lives and how we function as a society, this particular story of a 16 year old kid from The Bronx adapting to the new reality gives us something to smile about.
Alexis Loveraz, a student with a 4.0 GPA at Harlem Prep High School and a math wiz has gained hundreds of thousands of followers on the popular video social media app TikTok with his tutorials.

According to Alexis, he’s reaching not just kids from The Bronx but across the country and the world now that remote learning has become a reality for most students across the globe where COVID-19 has forced countries to shutdown.
CBS reports that students are praising him for being able to explain mathematical concepts better than their own teachers.
We want to give Alexis a big thank you for showing how Bronxites are always ready to help others!
