first what you have to do is start noticing where the clutch is. notice the clutch pedal position where your car comes out of gear and catches the gear.
then figure out the pressure to use. best way to describe it is you push in on the clutch (for now go all the way to the floor) and move to the next gear. when your coming off the clutch...imagine it being like poking a bubble. if you don't want the bubble to pop you come out kinda slow and soft. but once you get past the clutch remove your foot or it won't be a smooth shift.
while removing your clutch foot you wanna be coming in on the gas at about the same time. when your hitting the sweet spot your feet should be passing at about the same time and at the same speed. like a see-saw.
the hardest is getting first and second down.
dang I could go on for days. downshifting, double-clutching, drag racing etc. I hope I helped.

when you are on that hill make sure no one is behind you (other cars,people ,small woodland creatures etc). That way you won't be as nervous when you are rolling backwards . Before you do the hill you might want to try a to find a parking lot that has a slight rise to it. That way you will get the sensation of rolling backwards but it won't be as steep as a hill.

btw it would be cool if honda had a hill holder system like subaru does,it doesn't allow the car to roll backwards on a hill(hence the name).

Anyway, just keep working at it. Do it late at night. No fear of other cars on the road, or other people in the car. I've taught about 6-7 people how to drive a stick. Some are naturals. Others are not. I can't imagine never driving a stick again...
not that TLC sh!t either

DOUBLE CLUTCHING IN A NUT SHELL
I've explained it hundreds of times just for people to keep rewriting what I'm saying over and over and arguing about the way to do it or what its called...gets kinda aggrivating
I use it when I'm trying to scare the sh!t out of the person riding shotgun while entering and exiting a turn but it can also be used if you wanna street race. whatever you do though you are doing it. don't go buckwild with other cars on the road or on any road for that matter. now that I can't be sued:
1)drive going 45mph in 3rd, 4th, or 5th gear
2)clutch in and shift to neutral
3)let off the clutch and "blip" the throttle
(imagine how the rpms would sound if you were in 2nd gear going this fast and rev it to that range)
4)before the rpms have time to die down, clutch in again and downshift into 2nd
5)come off the clutch, back onto the gas, feel the torque of the d16 and hold on tight
to have good results it all has to be done relatively quickly. to feel the full effect do it while coming off a highway onto a side street.
again I stress to practice before going buck wild. you will be doing alot of fancy footwork while cornering and I don't want anybody to tell me they totaled their car or worse trying some initial-d sh!t.
next lesson: drifting to avoid road blocks.
