After reading this scene, what Rita needs to learn is to have an objective point of view, to analyze from a different point of view than hers. This happens when she has to read a book and she got angry because of the author’s opinions about a particular subject. I think that she needs to separate those things: subjectivity and objectivity.
As regards the way he tries to teach her that difference between subjectivity and criticism, Frank is good teacher since he wants her to feel comfortable in the place where they are, this is seen when Frank told her that she can sit wherever she wants so as to feel fine.

I think Frank may be a good teacher because he wants to make her feel at ease but also because he doesn`t look down on her. On the contrary he respects her a lot.
Both you and Lulilaika suggest a learner-centered approach is crucial to good teaching... :-)
Yet, Frank seems to be "forcing" Rita to fit into a "standard", isn't he? And who's set that standard, I wonder?
It'd be interesting to hear your first answers on this right now, but you can make sure we'll come back to this issue as we make progress throughout the play!

I agree with you Lucia…
As regards the standard that Frank seems to be forcing Rita to fit in, I think that it is set by the university since they have to responds to a syllabus designed by the authorities.
