Support for FM210 Principles of Finance I at LSE

Our tutoring for FM210 is designed to make the module feel more manageable. Sessions can focus on clarifying lecture material, rebuilding foundations, working through problem sets, case work, modelling tasks and exam preparation, and developing a clearer strategy for revision and assessed work. The aim is to help students understand the module deeply enough to apply the material independently, not just memorise model answers.

Common Challenges

Students often struggle with:

  • understanding the connections between portfolio theory and equity markets in the wider financial decision
  • applying bond markets accurately and interpreting CAPM in calculations, cases or modelling tasks
  • explaining assumptions, risk and financial implications rather than relying on memorised formulas
  • building a clear revision plan when the module starts to feel cumulative
How our tutors help

Our tutors can help by:

  • Clarifying the financial logic linking portfolio theory with equity markets
  • Working through calculations and models involving bond markets
  • Interpreting CAPM, assumptions and financial implications
  • Preparing for technical exam, case or coursework questions
