Support for FM214 Principles of Finance I at LSE

Our tutoring for FM214 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 valuation in the wider financial decision
  • applying bond valuation 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 valuation
  • Working through calculations and models involving bond valuation
  • Interpreting CAPM, assumptions and financial implications
  • Preparing for technical exam, case or coursework questions
  • Tailoring sessions to the exact parts of FM214 that feel unclear
