About Amandine


Bonjour!
I'm Amandine Lepers-Thornton, a Franco-British translator based in Oxford.
Originally from Lille in Northern France, I first came to the UK in 2002 to study English as an Erasmus student. After completing my Bachelors degree, I worked as a French tutor and interpreter in Leeds for 2 years. In 2005, I moved to Edinburgh to start my Masters in Translation Studies at the University of Edinburgh. My professional journey as a freelance translator started in 2007, when I set up Amend in Style Translations. After a decade in Scotland, I came to live in Oxford in 2014, where I've been based since.
My extensive professional experience as a French linguist includes varied translation and interpreting work, as well as 20 years of teaching at prestigious institutions like Fettes College, the University of Edinburgh and, more recently, Oxford colleges - e.g. Somerville College and St Anne's College.
In 2021-22, my passion for plants led me to study the RHS Level 2 in Practical Horticulture, following which I worked as a part-time gardener for a year at St Hilda's College. In September 2023, I'll be joining the teaching team at the Horticultural Unit of Abingdon & Witney College (Common Leys Farm), combining my teaching and horticultural skills. This experience is also part of a plan to add horticultural translation to my fields of expertise.
