I'm still having problems with the clutch and coasting.

I've gotten a lot more practice in the past few months and gradually gotten better with observations and the maneuvers.

I'm still having a bit of trouble with the clutch. My instructor pointed this out and said that if I mastered this, I could have a strong chance of passing.

I'm quite tall, so he suggested that I should move the seat back which feels a bit better.

When I first started, my Father told me to plant my heel in and only left my toe, but I find that my foot keeps getting caught. So I put I foot a bit higher and try lifting my leg slightly. This works better but I'm still getting the coasting which the tester could pick up on.

Any suggestions?

If by coasting you mean leaving your foot on the clutch or engaging it too early when you're coming to a stop, the best way to fix this is to take your foot away from the clutch altogether when you're not using it, put it flat on the ground. As for when you're breaking, don't put the clutch in until you nearly feel the car start to shudder.

I tried putting it flat on the floor, but my reaction time slowed.

Also if someone is tall, is it better to lift your leg fully? When I tryjust lifting my toe/ball, my heel keeps getting caught.

There should be a plastic like step next to the clutch, maybe rest your foot on that and maybe not wear heels if they keep getting caught?
