To add to drc, if you are physically inclined and have the time, learn along with her. The more you can feel what is being taught/learned, the more it will help you help her.
I'd also add to inde's post about learning what is not good: Wrist snaps, palm pushing the ball through release, closed/open/close, forced follow throughs, bending at the waist. Instructors that teach whip (see IR threads,) a strong drive and a natural follow through generally will know their stuff. There are many successful PC's out there and some make a living at it. Many connect well with their kids and eventually end up with kids who find success. However, my estimate based on local experience and from what I've seen in books, videos, the internet, etc., is that most really do not understand the motion. They have their heart in the right place, but just miss the mark with some of the basics. Sometimes you may have to compromise on one area when everything else in an instructor is decent. No one is perfect, but it sure is nice to find that coach who can get you on the right path, and connect with your DD.
That said, another vote for the Hillhouse vids.
