The best way to learn calculus is just to buy a book and go through it (don't just read it, do lots of exercises). If you have a solid understanding of high school math, then this shouldn't pose a problem. If it does then you should go back to the basics. I don't think that a tutorial is necessary. The best textbook to use depends on what you need the calculus for.
