I see this problem a lot. TDD is a hard skill to learn. It took me 2 years of continuous practice to really get it, and by year 3 I was only just starting to get decent at it. People who try and do TDD for less than 6 months haven't even left the parking lot yet.

I try and short-cut that steep learning curve by mentoring other developers, but there isn't enough people who have that experience around. I've met lots of programmers, and less than 10% of them have ever even tried TDD, let alone done it enough to gain insight and mentor others.
