if your torts are still young it might be impossible to sex them right now but if they are older the easiest way to tell is too look at the bottom shell and see if there is a grove or not if not female if yes male you can also look at their tails but i find that to be more difficult also check care sheets for coloration patterns for the different sexs

Not sure if it's different from those types and russian torts, but here's the a pic that shows the difference between russian tort males and females, if ya look at the tails.
