She is a lecturer and teaches architectural design at  Central Saint Martins (UAL) and at the London School of Architecture. Prior to this she was a Senior Lecturer at School of Architecture at the University of Westminster and also taught at the University of Hertfordshire. Her teaching established a collaborative platform for research, invention and spatial imagination which are pursued through iterative, inquisitive and imaginative processes. Tumpa's teaching primary focuses on social, environmental and spatial justice; through various methods of community engagement in the context of climate injustice and racial and social inequality, leading to health inequalities.
