Another Explanation (5):
A covariant tensor transforms like the coordinates themselves. Its components change in the same way as the basis vectors when the coordinate system is changed.
A contravariant tensor transforms in the *opposite* way to the coordinates. Its components change inversely to how the basis vectors change under a coordinate transformation.
