Is there any free online tutorial which completely explains General Relativity without concept of Tensors?

I can't imagine what such an explanation would look like. It would almost certainly be a lot more complicated than an explanation that is using tensors.

I'm sure others can give you links to pages you will find useful, but you're probably better off buying a book. The best one I know that doesn't use mathematics is https://www.amazon.com/dp/0393312763/?tag=pfamazon01-20.

While it would be impossible to have a complete explanation of general relativity without tenors there is something middle of the road at http://www.eftaylor.com/download.html#general_relativity

Download the sections on general relativity. This text is used at MIT in their course Exploring Black Holes.
