She may be much more talented, automobile wise, than you imagined. As long as she's not in a hurry it takes quite a bit of shifting skill to short shift every time at 1,500rpm's and to be smooth and not lug the engine. It would make me cringe too, but she's probably not hurting anything.
You might suggest she use 2,000rpm's, but she may not be aware enough of the tach, she's probably shifting by feel. Increasing the rpm's will lessen the clunk and make her driving smoother, will she buy that angle? Does she ride with you while you drive her car?
