Tips for Chord Recognition

Do you have any tips for chord recognition for my student who has more or less perfect pitch but seems to get bogged down in discerning notes but missing the actual chord character recognition?

For identification of chord quality, your student may wish to define the individual intervals within the chord (for example, V7 as Major 3rd, minor 3rd, minor 3rd). Consider use of Four Star® Online Ear Training, found at https://www.rcmusic.ca/ear-training as a tool for regular review.
