Don't be ashamed to ask for help. Math wasn't a strongest subject for me in school. Ask your parents for help, or get a group of friends to form a study group. Or you can ask your teacher for help perhaps after school. Flash cards is handy to help you remember and study them. You can also sign up for tutoring and join a mentoring program in your area too. It's free. Have confidence in yourself too.

With the multiplication tables it is pretty much memorization. Some of them rhyme so keep saying them over and over. For me it helped when I got the right teacher. if your teacher is not helping get a tutor who can. Someone who explains it well.
Good luck. It's not easy but it will come with practice.
A trick with the 9's is this: Hold your hand up in front of you, palms away from you. To find 9x1 lower your pinky finger on your left hand. The answer is 09. For 9x2 lower your ring finger on your left hand and bring the pinky back up. You now have 1 finger up, a space and 8 fingers up. The answer is 18. 9x3=put the middle finger of your left hand down and the rest up. You now have 2, a space and 7 fingers up=27. And so on... Hope this helps.

Study it more. I know that probably isn't what you want to hear but it is the best way to learn. How old are you? Can your parents help? Perhaps getting a personal tutor to help you out might be an idea as well as one to one tuition can be really beneficial.
If it is just that you have to memorise tables, try sticking them up around the house so that you see them everywhere you go. Also read them just before you go to sleep at night or have them playing all the time whilst you are asleep.
Good luck!

Ask different people for the methods that they use to work out the sums. younger people will be best what I found is that older people have the same very long and drawn out methods. If you are in or know any one in primary school ask teachers for different methods you dont just have to do it the way everyone else does!

Like any language, you only become proficient through use. Try writing out your tables several times, or even chanting as a rhym.
Practice, practice, practice.

Best thing is to ask your teacher for extra help after school or at break. I'm sure he will help you.
