I taught my 3 kids (all girls) stick shift, first in my A4 and then in my Boxster. The biggest issue was with all of them "how to get the feeling", means how much power to clutch, how much slip etc.
To get started we hit a big/empty parking lot and I let them just operate the clutch, no gas. That way they get a feeling for the clutch, after that I think it was easier for them. "Burn - prevention"

I am in the middle of changing a clutch in hot 106  degree heat. There is no way in hell after that w ould anyone but me drive it. The cheapest it costs  at an Indy for a clutch job runs $1,180 around he re. Very unlikely they would burn out the clutch,  but once you've replaced one, may someone help you .
