Congrats on the Series.Blue!

One of the things that helps is to learn where the clutch pedal begins to engage. Sit in a flat parking lot with one foot on the clutch and one on the brake. Slowly let the clutch out until you feel the car begin to move forward, this will give you an idea of how it feels when the process starts. From that point you can SLOWLY let the clutch out, remove foot from the brake, and slowly add pressure to the go pedal.

This works for hills as well as it will allow you to hold the car in place without slipping the clutch too much but still using the transmission to assist on the start. Just remember not to over rev as that will cause clutch slippage and unnecessary wear.

Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast. Don't rush things, and don't get frustrated. It'll come to you in no time!
