Default Teaching newbies to ride.

My GF doesn't know how to ride. She's a spaz (totally). How do I keep her from defaulting to the dreaded "lock up, and careen into nearest object" mode?

I've told her what to do, and I've shown her. Somehow, deep in my heart I know this isn't enough.

I have a little 100cc dirt bike for her to learn on (perfect), but she is hitherto completely uninitiated in the use of a clutch, on any vehicle.

What suggestions can you folks offer me? What's worked for you guys in the past, when teaching others?

I hate spending the day in the emergency room. Should I just not attempt this? Are some just not meant to ride?
