The best way to fix a flat, is to avoid it in the first place. I mean by looking at where you are riding, the lines, avoiding road debris where you can, avoidig pinch punctures when you're off road etc. Although it can still happen.. and does,, when you can least afford the time..

However, you need to get to grips with this yourself,

Sit yourself down in the garage ( a can of beer or hot coffee is good too),

And remove your wheel,
with a pair of tyre (or three if you preffer) tyre irons and rim protectors, remove the tyre (use the You TUbe vids to help),
then put it all back together.

Whilst you are doing this write down all the tools you use -> that's how you find out what you need on the road !

Alternativly, forget about it and make sure you have auto-assistance (RAC & AA here in the UK) backup who will come along and do it for you.
