About NovaLearn

We build the study partner we wanted at seventeen.

NovaLearn turns the material you already have — a lecture recording, a slide deck, a textbook chapter — into a study plan, a practice quiz and a tutor that will not hand you the answer. Over 100,000 students use it to study for the courses that actually matter to them.

Our mission

Make the whole subject make sense, not just exam week.

Most study tools optimise for the last 48 hours before a test. That is a real need, but it is a narrow one — and it teaches students to cram rather than to understand.

We build the opposite. A study set is built once, from your own material, and then revised with you over weeks: concepts you keep missing come back, topics you have mastered drop away, and the tutor keeps asking the question you skipped.

It is slower than a flashcard app and it is meant to be. The measure we care about is whether you still know this in six weeks.

What we hold to

Six principles we will not trade away.

Teach, don't tell

Nova asks before it answers. Every hint is a question, so you find the gap in your reasoning instead of reading over it.

Your material is the syllabus

Nothing is generic. Every question is grounded in the slides, readings and recordings your course actually assigned.

Understand over memorise

Flashcards, notes, outlines and quizzes are four views of the same material, so recall and comprehension reinforce each other.

Honest by default

No invented citations and no fake confidence. If the model is unsure, it says so instead of guessing at an answer.

Private coursework

FERPA and COPPA aligned, SOC 2 practices, and a hard rule: your uploads never train a third-party public model.

Built with teachers

Classroom shape, mastery thresholds and reporting come from educators who run the same problem we were trying to solve.

How it came together

Four steps from a recording to a classroom.

1

A single lecture

NovaLearn started with one question: why does a good lecture still need three re-watchings and a highlight graveyard? Upload the recording, get something you can revise from.

2

One study set per topic

Flashcards, visual notes, a structured outline and an adaptive quiz, all generated from the same material so they never contradict each other.

3

Nova as a tutor

Study sets tell you what to revise. Nova is the voice that sits with you while you do it — Socratic by default, patient by design.

4

Whole classrooms

Educators get rosters, mastery tracking and shared sets, so a department can agree on what a topic means before an exam tests it.

Real student reviews

Helping students achieve more.

Thousands of students worldwide use NovaLearn to study smarter and reach their goals.
