If a guy is talkative over text, but shy in person, does that mean he’s interested in you?

I’m in a group chat for one of my classes, and there’s this guy who always helps us out. However, I’ve been noticing that whenever I ask for help, he’s SUPER helpful. He’s helpful in general, but whenever I ask for help, he sends huge paragraphs explaining things, pictures, and sometimes he’ll send videos. He doesn’t do that for anyone else when they ask for help/ask questions.
We started texting (individually, so not in the group chat) and most of the time it’s about homework, but we’ll make a joke every now and then. He uses a lot of emojis when texting. Also, he told me to feel free to come to him whenever I need help with anything. I ended up seeing him on campus, and I saw him starting from afar. So I waved and he waved back (I couldn’t tell if he was smiling bc we had our masks on - he also seems very shy in person).
