If you mean prodigy...
A prodigy is one of those amazingly gifted children who at a tender age is performing feats of amazing genius or talent. Also known as Wunderkind (German for Miracle child).
Some famous child prodigies,
Tracy Austin at the age of 14 played Tennis at Wimbledon.
Bobby Fischer became the youngest-ever international chess grand master at age 15.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote 600 compositions. His talent first came to light when Wolfgang was about three years old, and his father and teacher Leopold, proud of Wolfgang's achievements, gave him intensive musical training, including instruction in clavier, violin, and organ. He was composing by the age of 4.
Pablo Picasso was an art prodigy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Autoportrait_mal_coiffe.jpg (picasso's self portrait at age 15)
And there have been rather more prodigy/singers like Judy Andrews (at age 5), LeAnn_Rimes...Olivia Olsen (the girl in Love, Actually) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5PULZFSHfg , but they are nevertheless remarkable.

Maybe you mean "protege" as in someone who is a brilliant student of a brilliant teacher as in "She's that amazing professor's protege". Another way of saying this is that the "protege" is under the care or influence of an older, more educated person.
If it's what you mean, it's French, it should have an accent over the second "e" and it's pronounced "pro-te-zjhae"
Hope this is of help!
