Support for ST326 Financial Statistics at LSE

Our tutoring for ST326 is designed to make the module feel more manageable. Sessions can focus on clarifying lecture material, rebuilding foundations, working through problem sets, R exercises, financial modelling and exam-style questions, 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 financial data analysis in R and financial time series in the wider financial decision
  • applying volatility models accurately and interpreting portfolio theory and 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

  • Clarifying the financial logic linking financial data analysis in R with financial time series
