thats how my dd and I do it, what I meant about using a Tee only was when we were in the baby steps you could say,then would move to the next,it was boring for both of us at first to do so,but she was learning a whole new approach to hitting,well getting rid of my bad understanding of hitting at the time.My daughter loves hitting off the tee now.We do tee work and go to live hitting.Normal practice is just me and my DD.When hitting off a tee I can watch my DD swing.I can make adjustments as we go along.I have the backstop marked out so I know where the ball is supposed to go. I think there is alot to learn off of tee swings.We then move to live pitching.It's harder to watch as DD swings,but I try.You just can't let DD swing away any way she likes as long as she's hitting the ball.I would still use the tee,I do every hitting session.Then finish with live pitching.By the "results" of the swing you normally can tell what went wrong with the swing.You know what the "results'' have been in the game.If you think a DD is going to magically hit the ball in a game by just hacking away your sadly mistaken.Easier to learn the correct way to hit a softball of a tee then move to a pitched ball.
