'die Einführung' and 'das Tutorial' both help you understand something new. 'Einführung' is more general: it can be a first lesson, a text, or an explanation about a topic. 'Tutorial' usually means a practical guide, often as a video or on a computer, that shows step by step how to do something. The words can be confused because both help at the beginning of learning. When it is about the basics of a topic, 'Einführung' fits better; when you are following along with a specific task, 'Tutorial' is more natural.
