Narrative:
I was told to taxi to runway 29. I taxied onto the runway. A plane was on final. It had to go around. In the confusion of the situation; the tower told me I made a mistake and I asked him if I should get off. He said it is too late now. Then I took off without clearance. I did not listen to taxi 'to' runway 29. Then; I let the confusion of the blind me into thinking I had takeoff clearance. Contributing factors: I was teaching a primary student; I wasn't hurrying or anything; I wasn't overly tired.
