> You definitely get a feeling but I can count numerous times when I've stood in front of the tutorial class and asked if there are any questions only to get no response back.

When I realized I was understanding subjects better than my classmates, I'd take on the task of asking the "dumb" questions for them. It was partly selfishness, I was tired of answering those questions for them outside of class. But it really did prove helpful to my classmates. It really helped that, when I was sitting with the students, I got to hear them mumbling and grumbling about what they didn't get. So I knew exactly what questions to ask to get the professor/TA to help my classmates.

I never TA'd myself so I have no idea if this would actually work, or at least work consistently. But, if you have a couple students that really seem to be getting the material, you could try talking to them one-on-one and ask them to help you out in this manner.
