覚える's past tense is most definitely 覚えた. I believe that makes 覚える a class-2 verb? Or something like that. Honestly classifying verbs as う versus る is a framework that should fall away not too long into your language learning. When I learn a new verb I don't ask myself if it is る vs う, I just check out how the past tense conjugates (which I can usually guess).
