Theo Bakker – Notting Hill Gate, London (2nd September 2015)

I passed the test on my first attempt, 24/08/2015, to the astonishment of both myself and perhaps my instructor, Darren, although by then he must have had extraordinary confidence in his teaching abilities. Darren remained calm throughout all my wrongdoings, and there were many of them, ranging from the classic bout of stalling at the start of the course to my generally shoddy banter towards the end (and the start too actually). I will never forget the 30 hours worth of teaching that I had this summer. Darren – you’re the dude.
