What do you want to learn tensor calculus for?
for General Relativity
 
I'd start with Landau&Lifshitz vol. 2. There you get both GR and the necessary tensor calculus in the most economic form, i.e., just Ricci calculus using holonomous bases. For more modern approaches, then see Misner, Thorne, Wheeler, Gravitation.
