Nung nag start ako mag drive, ang turo saakin ng tutor ko puro clutch lang talaga. He wanted me to perfect the use of the clutch instead of the gas pedal. But after a month, he told me that dwelling to much on the clutch is only for the purpose of getting to know the sensitivity of clutch. So I guess it is only good for beginners or those who are new to the car that they are using. After a month, you must (for the sake of the car) already have the "feel" of the car you are driving. I hope that helps.
And another thing; when I was still a beginner he made emphasis on "Speed Up, Gear Up. Speed down, gear down", hinde pala "Gear up, Speed up. Gear Down, speed down." which is totally what hollywood films are teaching. hahaha
