Loved by our learners

The Switched On! course has been thoroughly enjoyable from exploring values and forgotten passions to mastering positivity. With an experienced, supportive mentor, the course is well organised and engaging. My 16 year old daughter has loved it!
Emma HillSwitchedON! Mum
As a parent of a teen doing the Switched On! course, I love the fact that experts are giving us their knowledge and showing us ideas we haven't even considered yet. It will save us so much time , effort and worry when my daughter is choosing where and what to do next.
Angela LittleSwitchedON! Mum
Clare has had an immensely positive impact on Ellie's confidence. I am so very grateful for the skills and belief Clare has been able to instil in my daughter and am very grateful for the difference this has made, for Ellie and for our relationship. Thank you.

About Clare

Clare Ford is an award-winning education expert, international best-selling author, and founder of SwitchedON!, a global coaching and learning platform designed to help teens thrive – emotionally, academically, and beyond the classroom.

With over 20 years of experience in education, Clare has supported hundreds of young people and families through her unique blend of academic mentoring, mindset coaching, and emotional literacy development. She’s spoken on radio, podcasts, and global summits about redefining success for the next generation – with her signature methodology, The Teen Success Codes, now at the heart of her work.

After 12 years in the mainstream system, Clare experienced burnout and turned her breakdown into a breakthrough, creating a new path that honours both student wellbeing and future readiness. She now supports teens to grow in confidence, motivation, and self-leadership, while empowering parents to reconnect and raise switched-on changemakers.

Clare lives in Kent with her partner and two cats, and is a proud mum of her two young men who are now out of their teen years and just graduated from university.
