For intelligent kids school often is boring. Listening to her sounds like a good idea. Might be difficult though, since kids are not used to be listened to, adults usually just listen very short to offer some general advice, so the kid got the feeling they are not interested.
I think you are right, understanding is the key. As a healer somewhere said
'it's not our job to find a solution. It is our job to help them to find their own solution'
Sounds like you'll do well!
Love You!
