Not a tutorial per se, but this is an !AWESOME! read:

Concurrent and Real-Time Programming in Ada

You can find it used for 45$ on abebooks:

From what I covered this one also is great. I have not finished it yet...

Building Parallel, Embedded, and Real-Time Applications with Ada (Covers PolyORB, for distributed programming):

Definitely the first one. You will greatly cover tasks, protected objects and real-time scheduling. All along it exemplify how to program different systems like worker pool, futures etc. Worth every penny.
