About Akro

Classical languages, taught as living reading.

Akro brings Ancient Greek and Latin together through careful teaching, beautiful reading environments, and a conviction that grammar matters most when it leads into real texts.

Teachers

Meet the people behind the cohorts

Our courses are led by researchers and classicists who treat ancient languages as an entrance into literature, philosophy, history, and the long discipline of reading.

Nicetas

Passionate about languages and classical philology, Nicetas teaches Latin and supports the Ancient Greek path.

Nicetas studied Ancient History at Lomonosov Moscow State University, completed an internship at Accademia Vivarium Novum, and continued Classical studies at RSUH, where he led PHILOLALOI and taught Latin grammar and rhetoric. Since 2024 he has pursued Classics at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris.

Romanus

Romanus teaches Ancient Greek as a path into thought, literature, and argument.

Romanus is a PhD researcher in Philosophy at the Complutense University of Madrid and an FPI fellow at IFS-CSIC. His work focuses on Spanish and Ibero-American philosophy, the history of ideas, and the relation between language, thought, and culture.

Focus: At UCM, he leads an Aristotle philosophy reading club; in Akro, he helps students move from first grammar to direct reading of ancient texts with philological precision and philosophical context.

Teaching

How we approach the ancient world

Grammar serves reading

Forms and syntax are taught as tools for understanding sentences, not as isolated tables to admire from a distance.

Texts arrive early

Students meet meaningful passages from the start, with guidance that keeps difficulty productive rather than discouraging.

Beauty matters

The visual world of Akro is part of the pedagogy: reading should feel focused, serious, and worth returning to.

Begin with Greek, Latin, or both.

Join a small guided cohort and move from first grammar into real classical reading with support and structure.
