Wait a minute, you were teaching her to drive a manual transmission with the car facing your garage? That sounds pretty risky. All the people I've taught over the years only get the privilege of driving my car in an abandoned parking lot.
In high school, I taught this exchange student from Spain. She caught on quicker than I did and made it to 3rd gear on her FIRST attempt. Of course, she then hit the end of the parking lot and had to slam on the brakes, but still!
