I'm pretty bad at math. I frequently joke that that's why I program, so I can make the computer do all the complicated stuff for me. :p
Also, I think a non-responsive teacher, while annoying, is a good thing to encounter eventually. Once you're in the "real world", you'll need to know how to learn new things, or find quick answers to things, without having someone you can lean on. I've been a professional programmer for over 10 years, and I still google how to do things on a near daily basis. The nature of the googling changes, though. At first it was "how do I do x", and now it's more of "how do I do x in language y", or perhaps looking up the docs to a function because I can't remember the order of the arguments.
