I taught someone to drive stick, and it was not going well. One thing I did that really made a difference was not letting them shift, only working the clutch. So we went to a huge parking lot, and all he had to do was concentrate on proper operation of the clutch while I worked the shifter. That enabled him to learn the basics of the clutch without getting overwhelmed by adding in the shifting.
