I recommend Tensors Demystified
Think of them as bras and kets. The downsies indices are bra like, they eat kets and spit out c-numbers. The upsies are ket like, they correspond to the original vector space. You can combine them to give two indices in the same manner as taking the tensor product of two or more kets to get the full state.
I found this book quite useful for an intro to group theory.

This one is probably the most intuitive description of tensors and group theory I've read, but it's not free =(
