A couple of things:

1) Spend a couple of dollars to get a Snark. Get used to what being on key sounds like.

2) When you're tuned on key, get used to humming the open notes (E, A, D, G , B, E) to get used to what each note sounds like in your head.

3) Rinse and repeat.

4) Eventually uoull be able to nearly tune by ear.

Truth be known, I still tune a bit sharp when I do it by ear. Go figure.
