I agree, it would be good to explore this systematically and go beyond
the anecdotal, however, I am not volunteering at this stage as need to
focus on my PhD! Am quite happy to be a participant/ subject though.

Dear Naeema, and All

I think the point you make about being able to work with some research
mentors  from in school or not applies equally to working with a
research
tutor who is - or is not - the research tutor... It depends on the
individual, doesn't it? 

I am open to being persuaded I am mistaken!  Is there any evidence
either
way beyond the anecdotal? Has there been any research about this?  I can
give some anecdotal evidence from my own research mentoring as a mentor
and
mentee but I am thinking it might be a super research project and
presentation for BERA 08!

The anecdotal is useful but I'd like to see a more systematic long-term
study.
If anybody would like to undertake a study of this area - let's get
planning? What if, for example, we here who offer tutoring and
r/mentoring
ask students?

Best wishes,

Sarah
