I've been driving manuals for a little while now, thanks. For a beginner, he should be going to the floor with the pedal. I understand that the engagment point is about half way, but if he isn't in the sweet spot, he is going to be putting stress on the syncros. "Can't find it, grind it".

*OP, I forgot to mention, always keep your left foot on the dead pedal until you are ready to shift.
