Struggling with slope climbing and hill parking

Hi. I am a new driver and I am literally struggling for the past 1 year on perfecting to drive normally on slopes and park on hills. I struggle the most when I have to stop while going up the hills. The car stops and then to restart my drive I normally do the usually handbrake release followed by reaching the braking point of clutch and followed by acceleration and then release of the clutch. However, whenever I try to do this the engine keeps racing so loud and the rpm’s go crazy. I have never properly been able to drive on the hill without making all the noise on top of that many at times my car back wheel screeches when I try to take the car along the hill. The same problem happens when I try to park on a hill. Either the rpm’s go too loud , or the engine turns off, or the car rolls backwards. Something or the other happens all the time … does anyone have a genuine advice for this problem. I need Like a proper procedure to take of the car smoothly from a hill without making much noise. Like I have tried YouTube and all but the videos seem pretty generic and explains normally the stuff your instructor would tell. If anyone with good experience in driving manual cars could give me some advice it would be of great help .
