@Sacto Mitch and @Gordon Nichols you guys are spot on. His left foot was completely useless for the first 10-15 minutes. I’m fortunate as I don’t need to do the parking lot thing and we can just do circles around the neighborhood. I had him try just coming off the clutch without using the gas. He was much more frustrated than I was which was nice to see. We have some slight inclines that we will give a go once he has a better feel for the clutch.
Thanks for the suggestions guys and keep em coming.

By the time I was of driving age we lived in the country and had a house with a circle driveway. My driver’s training involved more than a few hundred laps around the circle drive so I could learn how to start off without stalling. After that I had to find a hill so I could learn how to start off while being on an incline. After that everything else was easy.
