Question Steering

How, and when, are planes steered by using
a)ailerons, if possible, the "steering wheel effect"?
b)the tiller
c)rudder
I've always been confused by this, so don't worry if you think your responses are simplified for numb-skulls, because that's what i am! And what does the tiller look like in regards to shape and such? (A little windable handle, isn't it?). Also, is it difficult to steer with rudder pedals and not brake at the same time? Thank you for your help as always!
