It is her job as a teacher to be there to answer any questions that you have. She is suppose to help you and want you to get good grades and understand the subject matter. I'm sure that she is more approachable than you think. Don't be afraid, just ask her. If at first you're afraid she might embarrass you in front of the class, then wait and catch her after class. If you do end up having problems, then you must go to your counselor at school.

Don't be intimidated. I am a 12th grade teacher and I have the same look. All the look is really saying is that she is about business. She must be a no tolerance type person.
A good teacher that is in control of their class never shows any weakness therefore they are always going to be on top of their game. A good teacher always ask any questions after teaching something new. That is your time to ask as many questions as you can thing of.
I tell my students to ask as many question as they need to ask until they understand the concept. There is no point in attending school for 7 - 8 hours and not learn a damn thing. A good teacher will stand at the board and give as many example as possible to make sure their students become successful.
What I suggest you don't do is tell the teacher you understand, then on test day you fail. It is not beneficial to you and it pisses the teacher off. So don't be scared it is her job to teach and your job to learn.

If you are having a hard time hearing her tell her, if you are having a hard time understanding ask her. you are not likely the only one. try asking a friend in the same class about this. There are some bad teachers out there, i have met a few. If it is a big problem with other kids as well then it is time to round up the parents and let them go after the principle and the school board.

After class, ask politely for some help and make an appointment for it. Go with your questions and confusions written down in an orderly way. Write down her responses. She should warm to you after seeing that you care about understanding the material she presents. You, for your part, have a right to this kind of help. A good teacher should be glad to work with you.

I'd try to go to her office hours. My guess is she's nervous about answering questions in front of a lot of people and so she puts on a forbidding attitude in class. If she's awful at office hours, then try to get a tutor, tape the class, or change instructors.

Don't be afraid, she'll probably welcome questions better than you think. And if she doesn't, then in my opinion she's not a very good teacher. Teachers should always welcome questions. I had a teacher in high school that had a quote hanging up that said "question everything." It made it a comfortable learning environment.

Audio record your classes and listen to them at home.
