I'm currently running Ghost on the root of my domain but I also want to have subdirectories to run some tutorials I'm making, for example: mydomain.com/tutorials mydomain.com/examples mydomain.com/playground How can I accomplish this?

Is there anything stopping you from hosting them on their own subdomains (e.g. tutorials.yourdomain.com)? It's usually easier to configure multiple apps that way.

Quite simple if you're using Nginx as a reverse proxy in front of Nginx, just setup a specific Nginx location context for your non-Ghost directories. Examples can be see on my Ghost blog at the following for my sitemap

http://ghost.centminmod.com/ghost-sitemap-generator/

location ~ ^/(yournonghostwebappdirectory) {
root /yournonghostappwebroot;
}

Easiest way to add non-Ghost stuff to your Ghost blog i.e.

http://ghost.centminmod.com/ghostinfo/
http://ghost.centminmod.com/themeforest/
