Free tier is a standard AWS account only, it's just you won't pay for resources, which are free tier eligible and you get some free usage quota. For example, free tier provides 750 EC2 hours for instance type t2.micro.
Please refer Free Tier FAQs if you have more questions. For example, you might be staying within 750 hours free tier limit of t2.micro but you might be using Elastic IP addresses/public IP addresses, which will cost you.
Also, I'd suggest you to setup budget alert, which would notify you, if your usage goes above the defined threshold. This is very important specially for beginners, AWS free tier provides wide ranges of resources/services for learning but at the same time, you may end up using resources which are not free tier eligible.
Setting up AWS budgets and configure alarm on those, which would notify you, if you exceed the defined usage threshold. Follow the Well Architected Lab instructions here for setting up budget alert based on your usage.
Edit
To break down the charges, I'd suggest you to:
Go to Cost Explorer -> Choose Date Range in right pane
Granularity -> Daily
Dimension -> Usage Type
Service -> EC2
Repeat same by changing the Dimension from Usage Type to API Operation, Availability Zone, Region, this would help you drill down further and understand, where the charge is coming from.
Hope you find this helpful.

Hi Mike,
I completely understand your question and concern, which is why I updated my answer, how would you find, what usage is charging you that amount. Through Cost Explorer, you can easily find out. First find out which service, charge is coming from(EC2 in your case), then identify through usage type, API operation, by doing that you'll get to know about your usage which is costing money and is not free tier eligible. Comment here if you have additional questions, happy to help.
Were you able to find resource, usage, which is incurring charge?
Hello Abhishek,
Thank you for responding. So I think I figured out where the charge is coming from: I filtered by usage type. It turns out I have a NAT Gateway that's incurring the charges.
I'm glad you were able to find out.
