Any tutorial by Andy Field is excellent, he was our statistics tutor at the University of Sussex and is one of the best lecturers I have come across. Someone has already linked you to his 'statistics hell' website below. Although you are looking for online tutorials id strongly recommend buying or borrowing his textbook 'Discovering Statistics using SPSS'. It is very easy to follow and starts with all the basic aspects of using SPSS before going into the complexities of the program.

I mainly use SAS nowadays, but Andy published one of the most popular and easy-to-use SPSS and introductory/intermediate statistics books.
I highly recommend it.

Andy Field is both very informative and entertaining. I highly recommend this book.
It's this book: Field, Andy (2009). Discovering Statistics Using SPSS, 3rd edition. London: Sage.
My favorite is not in my field, but related: Discovering Statistics Using SPSS

This book by Andy Field is by far my favorite. His writing style is really laid back and funny, which helps me concentrate as statistics can be pretty dry/boring. And he is good at explaining the statistic theories in an easy way. If you dont want to use spss while learning he has a statistics book in which he doesnt use a statistics program as part of teaching (I haven’t read that one though). He also had books on how to use Stata, R etc.
Hey now, I've got a masters in applied linguistics. Anyone can do it!. If you're super super super stuck check out this book by Andy Field. He is very good and literally goes step by step by step. Unless of course you're doing the actual math by hand. In which case you just need to go slow and check you're work twice over.
EDIT: Read: I believe in you.
I'm in a similar situation (requiring to be proficient in statistics), and here's what I'm doing.
a. Stats 133 - Computing with Data: A course on using R, SQL, and other technologies useful in statistics.
b. Stats 102 - Intro to Statistics I found multiple versions of this course, but I'm going to pick this one because it uses this interesting book which emphasizes case studies
c. Stats 135 - Concepts of Statistics : More advanced treatment of the same concepts from 102.
d. If you want to brush up on probability, you should look at Stats 101 and Stats 134.
e. After this level, they have a series of electives, such as Stochastic Processes (Stats 150), Linear Modelling Lab (151A and 151B), Sampling Surveys Lab (152), Time Series Lab (153), Game Theory (155), and seminars.
The classes don't have videos or audios, but they have syllabuses, lecture notes and assignments. So far I've found them to be more than sufficient.
I knew what book this was the moment I read this headline. (To those asking: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Discovering-Statistics-Introducing-Statistical-Methods/dp/1847879071/ref=pd_sim_b_2) This is the greatest stats book ever: I failed Stats in my second year, went to my professor, who wouldn't help me out. I picked up this book in desperation, read it, instantly went "WOW." I will permanently have Fugazi stuck in my head now though. Also: I aced my stats text. The moment a lower year friend of mine complained about the stats lecturer, I gave him my copy. Never went to a class again, passed his test.
