As an examiner, I know exactly what the assessment objectives are. Teaching this to students is the first step if they don't know this. The next is to give feedback on written work which is essential to score highly in economics assignments. As part of the feedback process I'll highlight which part of the AOs were achieved and provide concrete guidance for improvement, including models to show students what say an A or an A* answer looks like.
Respect for the existence of all peoples underlies my teaching. The only intolerance is of the intolerant. This is known as the paradox of tolerance - see Karl Popper.
Critical thinking is what good education teaches. Not criticism for the sake of criticism but learning how to make good arguments and weigh conflicting reasons. That's the most important life lesson economics teaches.
Climate change affecting prices and scarcity is a frequent topic I incorporate. Trade wars have also become important as has the war in Ukraine to some extent. Other political issues are also discussed as these always have economic implications.
No solid policy. Ask me about it.
This depends entirely on the student. Most students decide to have lessons with me up until their final exams, but if a student just wants a couple of classes to review something I'm happy to provide that if my schedule allows.
I'm fairly well read about issues around the world. If I have a student say from Singapore, I'll ask them about it but also be able to ask them some relevant questions.
I always ask questions and ask if there are questions :)
