About Laila

I’m a classically trained musician and graduate of the Royal Academy of Music, with a passion for helping young students unlock their musical potential and gain places at top-performing schools through musical aptitude testing.
Over the past several years, I’ve successfully supported students in gaining admission to highly competitive schools via both Round 1 (listening/aural tests) and Round 2 (performance assessments). My teaching style is structured, encouraging, and fully tailored to the unique requirements of each school and student.
With a deep understanding of the different musical aptitude formats used across UK secondary schools, I offer not only expert guidance but also insider-level preparation — from building core listening skills to polishing performance pieces for auditions.
Whether your child is just beginning their musical journey or already well into their instrument studies, I create a calm, supportive environment where they can build confidence, refine skills, and prepare to succeed.

Laila is an extremely motivating and passionate tutor! My daughter was on the verge of giving up on her piano lessons due to a previous tutor who lacked excitement. Fortunately, for both us and our daughter, we discovered Laila who re-ignited her passion!

Laila has been super helpful and supportive for the past 2 years as my composition and theory tutor. Her lessons are always well tailored to my needs, and I have made great progress with composition, particularly my composition for A level music. Laila is extremely patient and punctual but also stretches me during lesson, so I always achieve more than I expect! I highly recommend Laila - she has so so so much musical knowledge that she always is happy to pass on!
