Orcas is a company that was co-founded by Hossam Taher, a Kasr Al Eini doctor who was tutoring students alongside his studies during his university years. He quickly found that many parents were struggling to find qualified tutors that could help their children study. To help parents, he worked together with Orcas' other co-founder, Amira El Gharib, to create a mobile application that made it easy for learners to find the academic support they need.
