It may be easier to parse if you hyphenate ​promotion-free.

Actually, I want to know what is the role of the word promotion and the role of the word free, is it as a noun or is it as an adjective?

Based on your answer @GoesStation, does it mean the word promotion and free definitely have one role that is an adjective?

Yes, that's correct. "Promotion-free" is a compound adjective, a single word for categorisation purposes. "Free" in this case this has the sense of "not advertised". Syntactically, "promotion-free" is functioning as predicative complement of the subject "our live classes".

Other similar examples of compound adjectives are "tax-free", where the meaning of "free" is "not having to pay" and "cholesterol-free, where the meaning is "not containing".
