What is the orchestra teacher's primary instrument? Many high school orchestra teachers are responsible for lessons on all strings even though they may only play one of them with real proficiency. She is probably OK to start with for a few lessons, but if this teacher mainly plays violin, viola or bass then your sister may want to look around for a teacher who is first and foremost a cellist.
I agree with BassDad....it will go much better for her if she has lessons with someone whose technique is based on that one instrument, the cello. She is not a rank beginner, as many are when they pick up the instrument in an introductory string class. Somehow it can be more frustrating to pick it back up, hard to backtrack to the basics and get it right.
