Is Frank a tragic character in Educating Rita?

I don't understand, my teacher says he is but i don't see how.

Supposedly Franks tragic flaws, his self-pity, alcoholism and the fact that he is cynical, bring him to his downfall. Is his downfall that he gets fired, or that he leaves to Australia?
Does he have a moment of redemption or remorse? When is that then?

Any help is appreciated!
