If I can make a suggestion... stop using the tee. ONLY do front toss. Not trying to mix her up and trick her, just simple, meatball BP. Focus on mechanics there. Use video, lots. Then go back and review it with her, showing her what she missed, or succeeded with. When she sees it with her own eyes, I found with my own DD, it really started to click. For me and my DD, 95% of all practice is front toss. Stop worrying about the tee swing and worry only about what she does with a live ball in the air. Also let her know you're not concerned with where the ball goes and how hard she hits it. That will come.
Thanks for the suggestion. I was doing that for a while, pretty much the entire season. To be quite honest not to sure why I went to the tee again. The game plan I came up with is along what Eric F suggested. Place a object out in front were the pitcher would be and have her go through gather separation etc. while focusing on that object instead of a ball sitting on a tee right in front of her. Transition from that to having her go through the gather separation etc. to the launch position with a front toss. Then strictly front toss.
