An industrial estate in the evening is a good idea, as there is little or no traffic and real roads to train on, which helps with junctions etc.
One thing I do to help people struggling with clutch control in a manual box (I hate Automatics with a passion that cannot be described!!) is play "catch the car". Basically, on a gently incline, I get someone to hold the car in first gear on the clutch. Then depress the clutch and let the car gently roll back and then catch it again with the clutch. Then up on the clutch a little more to move the car up the hill. Dont do this for long, as the clutch will start to get hot but its a great way of generating feel for the cluth pedal and how it bites. Very little gas is needed for this, keep the revs down (sub 1250rpm). This is how I was taught and I haven't stalled once in 6 years and 200k miles of driving.
