I'm just beginning on the uke too, here's a handy web page I use for tuning:

Ukulele tuning reference

I understand the common tuning for soprano ukulele is G-C-E-A, G being top (4th string), progressing down to A (1st string).

There's a pitch pipe available for tuning too.

Here's instructions for relative tuning:

1. Tune first string to A
2. On 2nd string E, place your finger on the fifth fret and tune the string to match the first string
3. on the 3rd string C, place your finger on the fourth fret and tune the string to match the second string.
4. Fourth string, place finger on second fret and tune to the first string

There's books, videos, and classes available for learning the ukulele, but I'm not yet familiar with what seems to work best yet.

Good luck with your playing!
