If the tear is large enough to get material behind you can buy iron on canvas strip. Or if you are dexterous 'Evostick' material behind, making sure not to get it on the leather facing! 'Copydex' would be a safer option but not as permanent. Even PVA on canvas left over night will bond well and remain quite flexible.

Depending on how the tear occured it should not get any worse. This will only happen if the leather has not been looked after and has actually worn away. All tears are best left to the experts as DIY kits can make it much worse to the point where it cannot be repaired even by a professional.
Call in a qualified leather technician who can do this for you, he will do a good repair that will last and match the colour correctly which would be very difficult for you to do yourself.
Please please do not use super glue, leather glue has to be flexible and super glue is too brittle and will damage the leather even more, shoe polish will come offf on your clothes and is totaly the wrong product to use.

The easy answer is to put some 'rubber solution' on a strip of leather or vinyl and coat a similar area behind the tear in the same way.
Now comes the dodgy bit! You need to let the adhesive dry and it will stick like the proverbial once the two surfaces are together. One edge at a time if enough slack is present round the original tear.
Now slip the strip behind the tear and carefully pull the edges together then rub it down when a good match of the edges is present.
Works well but you do need to be careful.

Ha ha, I've done this. Use superglue to join/repair rip (as little as possible). I have a dark brown leather settee so I used dark brown shoe polish buffed in to hide repair. Worked well - had to repeat 6 months later as it does fade with use.

I'm with Judy B. on this one.
I'd call around to upholstry centers or look under leather repair in the yellow pages. You might find someone who can come to your home to repair it, or you might have to bring it into their shop.
Either way, I wouldn't try to repair this yourself. You might do more damage and/or make it look worse than it already does!
Good luck.
