I would have a backup plan in place as in "let's try option X, if that doesn't work as evidenced by Y, we'd like to try option P." I agree w/ the others though from my READING, ie not experience, is that pace is usually an issue. In "Reforming Gifted education" there are several questionnaires for DC to fill out which indicates what kind of learner he/she is. My son, for instance, scored low on doing independent projects at school. He thrives on discussion and interaction with others. Now w/ a subject like math, he'd likely be fine w/ a computer course but I bet would love an enthusiastic tutor. I would like at your child's personality and ask him/her what he prefers.
