It appears she's wearing flip-flops while driving. It's possible that a better choice in footwear might make it easier for her to operate the clutch since it would provide a stable platform to work from.

I like the 1st 20 seconds when she's trying to take off and he's yelling "You're burning the clutch, you're burning the clutch"

My wife and daughter have both had trouble trying to operate the clutch effectively while wearing heels, sandals and flip-flops. But they've never had any real trouble when wearing a flatter, more snug fitting shoe.

It'd be a shame for your friend to lose her confidence re: driving a manual transmission when a better shoe could make a big difference.

I like that exhaust sound too.

I feel like you have to have at least one "push the clutch in...the clutch IS in" discussion whenever you teach someone stick.

yeah i think she definately redlined it to far. you might be leaking boost fluid now. lol. but really i was expecting her to take out a tree or a house. she did fine. just keep letting her get used to the sti clutch.
