Support for ST226 Mathematics for Finance and Investment at LSE

Our tutoring for ST226 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.

  • understanding the connections between compound interest and cash-flow models and bonds in the wider financial decision
  • applying loans and annuities accurately and interpreting equities in calculations, cases or modelling tasks

  • building a clear revision plan when the module starts to feel cumulative
