The flow and layout is nice but overall the lettering could use some work.
Good luck!
ps: just a note. this book is where I learned most of these tips. It is amazing in the way it can give you simple tips to make your lettering exponentially better. I would recommend trying to buy it.
A lot of calligraphy is about pen angle, which means keeping the nib at a consistent angle to the baseline regardless of the direction you are moving the pen. Learning to control your pen angle can help improve your letters. Learning a few different calligraphic hands can help you improve your style. It is a good idea to draw individual letters in a style first, then work towards words.
I highly recommend The Calligrapher's Bible by David Harris. It's a great little book with all the info the beginner needs, and 100 different calligraphy styles illustrated.
I'm still learning myself so some of these books I'm recommending depend on your skillset and interest I guess. For typedesign and understanding fundamentals: Designing type is a good read, same with Stroke. Free stuff like briem superhandy. As a primer I'd read this before I buy a type design book. For lettering I don't really have books of preference. I generally go googling for info on whatever I may have a doubt in or if I just need inspiration. Like if I were looking at script, I'd look at works by Tony di spigna, tommy thompson, david quay and the like. When I once had a doubt about negative space within letters, I googled and stumbled upon this which helped. so for lettering it's a bit all over the place where I mostly just got info from googling. However if you want a book in lettering for a beginner-intermediate then logo,font & lettering gets you upto speed on a lot of things though he can be a lil old in his methods. Also books by Mortimer Leach and Doyald Young. For calligraphy I think I mostly learnt it from speedball manuals and then just googled but more importantly I did a lot of writing which is why I picked up on it. I think to understand type properly you need to do some calligraphy, once you get a grasp on calligraphy, typedesign makes sense so you go buy type design books, eventually lettering becomes super easy.
First of all you NEED this book, it has it all like seriously all,the tools the strokes the history - the chapter on brush lettering alone is worth the purchase.
(in case the link doesn't work the book is called Modern Calligraphy and Hand Lettering by Lisa Engelbercht)
http://www.amazon.com/Modern-Calligraphy-Hand-Lettering-Mark-Making/dp/1592536441
Then you need to watch this series of videos by Eliza Holliday, she shows the dynamics of the process and keeps it fairly simple and easy to understand - though there are others i found this one to be the most useful.

And then you need a fuckton of practice because the Pentel Pocket brush can be a little bitch sometimes but gets the job done - also you might want to get a couple of other brushpens along the way just to make sure you can control all types and be efficent with any tool.
Hope this helps
She could work on her filligree. It looks like she didnt even use the right type of pen for this, instead she traced the letter forms and filled them in (in which case the main lettering for 'TOM" isnt horrible)
But since she has interest in lettering I'd suggest you give her a cute-ass gift for which she's going to be eternally grateful to you: a parallel pen. I started off with these and recently I just did monogram logos for my friends wedding. It takes less than a day to learn the letters and maybe a weekend to get the writing flow down but if you like lettering you'll be addicted. Check out the link below!

I like Lettering & Type: Creating Letters and Designing Typefaces and In Progress: See Inside a Lettering Artist's Sketchbook and Process, from Pencil to Vector. But really the biggest help for me was just daily practice, with someone who can give you quality feedback on your work
The book is Creative Lettering and Beyond, created with three other lettering artists. It comes out in November and shows the process of this piece and others from start to finish. :)

We have a cool guide for choosing a brush pen in our sidebar, so you could always start there. Personally I like to use a pencil and tombow abt brush pens, stabilos, sharpies, copics, eddings and dozens of other pens I randomly find at my local stores. For paper I usually use the cheapest A3 copy paper I can find and only invest in special marker paper when I have some extra money to spend.
I just started and personally find this book helpful. For more practice, you can also buy tracing paper and trace lettering as well.
Thanks. I went and found it on Amazon.
Letters of Credit by Walter Tracy is a must-read.
haha, i picked up this book about it... if you leave the pen on the wood for about 15 seconds, you'll start a fire.
