I was wondering what the proper way to spell my Polish last name in Russian would be. It's "Kucharski" and my Russian instructor told me it would be spelled "Кухарский." Would this be correct?

I think that's correct.
depends on
a) how you pronounce the "ch". If you pronounce it as in 'church' then it would be Кучарский.
b) whether you're male or female. If you're a female then it'd be spelled Кухарская/ Кучарская (pronounced Kucharskaya, -ий is a masculine ending).
ch in Polish = Russian ХQuote:

I saw a Ukrainian article which transliterated the name Zagorski as: Загорський replacing the spolich -ski, with the standard Ukrainian -ський
