Sounds like it could be that she sees the tutor as a reflection of her smartness, and increased her confidence. Or it could be that she saw that she CaN do more than she thought she could do, and she figured out how to tolerate the discomfort that does come along with some learning tasks.
I am with you that I hope this is a beginign of a new trend.
How many times have we heard "A school wouldn't deny special education to a developmentally delayed child based on their current performance, so why should they deny a gifted child's special educational needs because they aren't getting all 100%s or because they are behaving a certian unpleasant way?"
Even if your daughter never complies with an IQ test to her full capasity, if she can do above level work, that certianly suggest giftedness.
