Bad chemistry teacher

Now, don't get me wrong - my chemistry teacher is great, she is definitely nicer than my Biology teacher and on the same level with my Physics teacher, but her teaching methods are all wrong. I am really bad at Chemistry, and if I was doing Triple Science I would just give up on it and ignore the D in my results letter, but I'm doing Additional at the moment (got a B last year in Core but my teachers were all different), and I'm worried my Chemistry paper will bring my result down to a D or even just lessen the chances of me getting a B in general because I won't do well. I like to ask 'why' a lot - in Physics and Biology this is fine and I get an interesting explanation about WHY this fact I need to remember is true but when I ask 'why' in Chemistry, the response is usually "because it's just one of those weird chemistry rules you've got to remember" like it's clear that she's the one that didn't listen when she did her degree or whatever as she has no background knowledge. I really don't want to have to rely on the revision guide for success in this paper but a sudden change in Science teachers just wasn't ideal..
