child genius
Precocious intellectual youngster
A child genius is a young person who displays extraordinary intellectual ability or talent far beyond what's typical for their age.
The term usually implies exceptional aptitude in academics, music, mathematics, or other demanding fields: She was a child genius who entered university at twelve.
Unlike prodigy, which emphasizes remarkable achievement, child genius focuses on raw mental capacity.
