Problems with B

I'm an adult and have been taking private clarinet lessons for about a year and four months. I still can't get a consistently good tone out of the B note that is just above the break. Sometimes the note just squeaks, especially going from A. When the note does sound, it's very stuffy, unless it's supposed to sound that way. My teacher told me it just takes getting used to playing the note and to be conscious of where the fingers land. I'm playing on an old wooden Bundy with a 2.5 Mitchell Lurie reed.

It's extremely frustrating having this note chop up the songs and any other ideas would be much appreciated.
