The taking of a Teacher (acariya) by a bhikkhu and living in dependence (nissaya) on him can only be between bhikkhus.
And even according to the bhikkhunii’s own Rule, in the time of the Lord Buddha, she was not allowed to teach bhikkhus.
However, this does not mean that a bhikkhu cannot learn from others.
