Tyler teaches a comics class at the University of Cincinnati College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning. Her primary focus is teaching students the methods and techniques of comic creation. In teaching the history of comics "Tyler can pull out almost the entire history of comics in this country, everything from 1930s classics to 1950s comic magazines teaching aspects of African American history (regarding Harriet Tubman and Crispus Attucks) to an original of the first issue of the iconoclastic Mad Magazine." She has also brought her current book theme, military service, into the classroom.
