Maybe take her to a big parking lot and practice. Its always easier (for me at least) to back-up a tandem trailer, as compared to a single axle. The main thing is just don't rush. The people behind you on the ramp can wait, safety first and take your time.
I'll second the notion of practicing in a parking lot. Take some cones to make a "ramp" if you have to.
