I am so glad you are teaching her to drive and not attempting to teach her English.
Oooooohhhhh so witty. So you do not understand the word "good" nor the use of English. Good show...
Most english speakers agree that "good" is an adjective describing a noun and "well" is a verb describing an action. I am teaching her to be a driver....a noun....and she is doing good at being a student...again, a noun. If I had said she was doing well at driving you would have been correct but she is not doing that, she is doing good as a student.

Mine was taught by our baseball coach. He used us to take him to the hardware store to pick up hardware to work on the baseball field. Funny thing was I'd take him to get the stuff in drivers ed and then he'd have us work on the field before practice. We were basically free labor.

In Houston, they're overwhelmingly middle aged Indians.

You have exposed a second issue. While your furious Googling brought you to the correct answer, you proved you missed the days in 4th grade when the rest of your English class was diagraming sentences. Good is indeed an adjective but you used it to modify a verb.
Let's break it down:
"She is doing very good."
"She" is the noun
"is doing" is the verb (compound)
"very" is an adverb of degree used to modify "good"
"good" is being used (incorrectly) as an adverb to modify the compound verb "is doing"
Good can be a noun when you say "she is doing good" when you mean she is doing charitable works ie what you are saying is she is doing good works.
Here is your sentence modified to use both good and well correctly:
She is a good girl who is doing well at learning to drive.
