You might also want to make sure the parking brake is well adjusted. You know, either for unexperienced drivers or someone with a bad heel it feels so much more comfortable to use the parking brake while starting uphill driving. It's also prone to decrease clutch wear.

Her Pa drove stick when she was young, so by osmosis she seems to have kind of a handle on the basic concepts.
Driving stick is like riding a bicycle, once you learn it you won't forget it so easily. But it's still a different matter seeing someone doing it and trying it by oneself.
