His former student Nandi - and previous podcast guest - describes him as an understanding, non-judgmental teacher who creates a comfortable environment and incorporates life lessons into his teaching. Tyler emphasizes the importance of seeing students as complete human beings rather than just pupils, understanding their personal struggles and circumstances. He discusses how he uses social media, particularly TikTok (follow him @fishin4clout) as a positive platform to connect with students and showcase positive aspects of American education globally. He criticizes the outdated education system and teachers who refuse to adapt to modern students' needs.

He advocates for teachers to either adapt to current generations' needs or choose a different profession, arguing that students deserve educators who are committed to their growth and well-being.
