I plan on making a Tutorial website (using Drupal) where people can submit their own tutorials for photoshop and other graphics programs. I have my website installed and workin, but I was wondering if there is a module or plugin that will allown users to submit tutorials, and after they are submitted they go into a list with a picture next to them. Also on the front page I would like to see like the last submitted tutorials. Any help on this would be appriciated as I am new to Drupal and CMSs in general.

Why not make the tutorials just blogs, pages, or stories that come with Drupal? That should pretty much do all you ask.

How do I put it so they show up in a list, and the main page shows a list of all the Tutorials with a little picture. Also how Do I make It so registered users can submit tutorials?

Though a bit too late, but perhaps it'll help someone else. I'll keep it to very basics.

As you are asking the users to submit the content so it'll be a good idea to create a new content type
1. Download the cck module
a. Create a new content type OR
b. Import either blog/page content type(whatever suites your requirement

made any modifications if you want(like adding fields like subject: , Scope: , Links: etc)

Name the new module(say 'submit tutorials')

2. Go to user management->access rules and allow this content to be created/edited by authorized users.
Now this content type is visible to your members

3.Go to views, create a new view, with content type set to this new type. Create a new page(tick the check-box) if you want to list all the tutorials on a separate page. Now I come to your main requiremnt :
Create a new block, add fields of user name and title and opt for list view(so the list will show in user names:title format), sort it in descending order, based on 'node creation time'

4. Now go to admin->Blocks
configure this block to appear on an appropriate user area(say right column), appear only on etc

You have a list box containing the recent tutorials along with their posters.

There are many alternatives, like if subject line will always contain 'tutorial' then perhaps creating a new type can be avoided.
