I do it exactly the other way: put them on an empty road with a slight uphill.

With the parking brake on, let them practice getting a feel for when the clutch "bites". When it does, put the parking brake down and the car remains stationary.

Do that a few times (10m, or less) and the learner develops an intuition all by themselves for how the clutch pedal works (there's some travel until it "bites", the expected type of progression of the pedal, etc).

Can't teach that when they learn to use it like a button (which is what happens when they learn to change with the car in motion).
