I love w1k to death, but I think he needs to start at the beginning.
To the OP: I’m not familiar with any _beginner_ online tutorials, but I’m sure there are plenty.
To start with, I’d go thru the manual from start to finish, to familiarize yourself with the whole banana. If you can find one online or somewhere, check out the old Adobe course book. It’s excellent. If you Google for the right keywords, you’ll find plenty of stuff – zillions of sites. What you need to learn is kinda dependent upon what you intend to do, but there are some fundamentals. If you learn these things first, it makes everything else easier.
* Selections using the marquees and wands
* Layers
* Channels
* Masks, and selections using masks
It’s not fun like the filters, but it allows you to actually get things done. Then you can branch out to the subjects that interest you, like image correction, or freaky creative stuff.
And if you intend to print: color management. It will be very complicated and confusing at first, but it’s worth it to at least start familiarizing yourself with the issues. You may not be able to resolve them before Xmas… <g>
