At an independent academic tutoring practice in Hanover, New Hampshire, Bob Kowalchuk prepares pre-medical students for organic chemistry examinations. He worked in a commercial synthesis laboratory before turning to full-time science instruction. Kowalchuk first began assisting undergraduates with reaction mechanisms while finishing his bachelor of science in chemistry at the University at Albany. His sessions focus on helping undergraduates master reaction pathways and laboratory concepts.
