I was once in a similar situation. First, you should try your best to get on your teacher’s good side then you should shoot him an email asking his best advice for preparing for the tests. Be sure to show that you are concerned. Say something like this:
“I noticed that after each test, I received less-than-satisfactory grades. I do not think that these grades accurately reflect my mastery of the concepts. Do you have any advice as to how to prepare for future assignments?”

Most likely, if he is a bad teacher than he won’t give you much help or work in your favor. This is when you bring the issue to your guidance counselor. Say “I am having an issue with a teacher, and I need some advice on how to confront it.”

Good Luck. We have all been there.
