First off, don't rage out loud, doesn't help. Get a stress toy.

Secondly, always point mistakes. Being quiet doesn't help, and it's really confusing to people if you start raging at them and they didn't really know what they did wrong.

Third, discuss mistakes after the game. Do they understand what they did wrong? If they keep trying to excuse themselves, find someone else. If they admit to mistakes and apologize, help them improve.

Lastly, never, ever, recommend Coop games. Even if you want to learn something, custom games exist. To actually teach someone to play, teach them by the hand in normals. Rule of thumb : If it's their first normal game, put expectations as LOW as possible.
