About Unisium

Why We Built Unisium

I kept seeing the same pattern: smart students working hard, but still walking into exams unsure what they knew. The issue usually wasn’t effort — it was structure. Without a tight loop and clear feedback, studying turns into guesswork.

Unisium is built to replace guesswork with a repeatable study run: retrieve → explain → solve → reflect. It’s real cognitive work, but it’s designed to feel less like a grind and more like a game you can start and finish.

I’m a physics education researcher, honored with the Best Teacher Award at the University of Bergen. Over 20,000 students have taken Primal Learning and related courses, built on many of the same research-based principles as Unisium.
