I'd start teaching her the more standardized way which is right handed. As a lefty she should be able to pick up the switch back rather easily if she just can't figure it out right handed. As it is now you are dealing with a clean slate so go the more common less expensive route.
She could end up being a bit of both as my younger son is. He writes left handed, eats right handed, kicks right footed and plays drums, djembe, congas and bongos. My other son self taught bass, guitar, keyboards. Both of my sons got the musician bug and we love it. Except when they want to try to make that their life's work...Bubble busting is hard. If she truly loves the instrument and/or has a gift for it then she'll pick it up rather easily. It's like magic to watch.

Lefty, learned to play righty, which is the way any music teacher should do it. I hated it at first, but having the dom hand for the frets was an advantage for stamina. If it was my lefty kid, I'd teach 'em the standard right-handed way. I'd only switch if the kid couldn't grasp the technique, but that shouldn't be an issue for a beginner.

if you go the strung backwards route, just make sure you adjust the bridge accordingly.

My oldest, I just sit and listen in wonder. She learns faster than I ever did. She jets through whole lesson books. She's the same with the clarinet. And with the clarinet, she skipped an entire year of instruction when she skipped a grade. |

My oldest wants to play drums. It's the reason why she started piano lessons. The school band program requires that anyone playing percussion has at least 2 years of piano...

My dad is a retired band teacher and I played trombone for him from 6th grade through high school but put it down and haven’t picked up a musical instrument since so he’s excited that I’ve bought an upright bass and have been learning how to play. When he and mom get back from Texas this spring he wants to get together and jam.

I'm another lefty that plays a righty (I thought I was the only one).
I've always felt that the dexterity in my left hand has compensated for a weak right picking hand. I've always had to work on my picking way more than anything related to my left, (i.e chord formations, scales, bending, etc...). I would suggest she play a right handed guitar, but make sure she doesn't slack on her picking by using too many hammer ons and pull offs with her left. |

The other advantage to her learning on a righty is that 95% of the lessons and tutorials available on the internet are taught righty.
