Have you tried to do things you both enjoy? A great way to get along with someone you love is to enjoy time together and try to understand eachother better. Ask her to do something with you.

Open communication. I find that communication goes a long way with all relationships. You want to make sure that you all don't step on toes.

Try to understand situations for her perspective. Give her the respect she deserves and treat her like your best friend.

Tricky question... depends on family dynamics, I think. My mom was a bit of a Tiger mom and our relationship got better once we started being honest with each other and having conversations with the intent to understand rather than to fight. To get to that point, though, can be a lot of work on both of your parts. Sometimes it, quite frankly, just needs time and, at others, comes with environmental changes (i.e. my mom gaining a social circle helped a lot indirectly with our relationship).

Mother and child relationships are always roller coasters and they will never be perfect. I personally have and am having issues with my mom, and for me its hard because she suffers from depression and ptsd. The first thing I would recommend doing is talk to a sibling about it if you have one. Especially if they're older, they have so much advice for this kind of stuff. Also, you can talk to your mom about it. I know it sounds crazy scary but it can always help. If it's too intimadating you can always talk to a counselor if you have one, a listener on here, or a teacher at school. Doing something you two enjoy could make the waves go down and it will put you both in a good mood. There are probably other answers but those have personally worked for me.

I have always been very close with my mother. I try to let her know that I appreciate her by doing special things for and with her. Surprise flowers or candy, dinner out, shopping, anything really. We just appreciate our time together.

Buy little gifts and leave them there for you mother to discover, or ask her out to dinner, smile :)
