I know that you are busy with so many things to take care of. Although I do not promise for you to be able to play cello well after 1 hour or one day, I will teach you how to achieve good progress while having limited time to practice. We will not be learning to play cello by studying music theory and sitting by the computer. We will do it by trying to play as much as possible.
