Work it slow as many times as it takes to get it smooth. The GRADUALLY speed it up. Make sure it is smooth at each tempo as you work your way up.

in loight of the 6/8 question, yes all you can do is work it slow, and remember to count it its >1< 2 3 >4< 5 6. 1 and 4 being downbeats. although some instructors only have 1 as a downbeat. try to not move your embouchure any. and leave your right hand down when playing the lower notes(if they are throat tones). and the flute question, are you talking about the concert key of F, or a key on your flute named F? if its the concert key of F, then go over the scale of concert F many many times. scales are the most boring part of playing music, but it helps. if its the key on an instrument, then there could be a leak/pad falling off/bent rods/etc. you may benifit from an overhaul. if it's a rented instrument, take it to wherever it's being rented from and sk them to check it over. hope this helps.

Easy? Maybe what you are playing is, but trust me, it will get harder. You may be one of those freaky people who's really good, but I doubt it. You're probably playing in 4/4 at like 80 w/ quarter notes mostly below the break or something liek that... anyways, good luck!

Also, try to keep a steady breath. steady constant airflow is the one thing I've found that helps...
