Psalm 119:18 asks, "Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law." This ought to be the prayer of each Christian each day. We have this incredible advantage in studying the Word--the Author is there with us. I always hated in literature classes when teachers and textbooks (literature textbooks--what a crock!) tried to say, "Well, this is what the author was trying to say." It bugged me, because I'd put everything I own on the fact that most of the time the writers weren't commenting on the state of the union or the corruptness of politicians or.... Couldn't they have been--oh, I don't know--telling a story?!
But with the Scripture, we don't have to wonder what the Writer did or did not mean. We can just ask! He's right there with us to go through His Work with us. Take advantage of your very knowledgable tutor! He'd love to help.
