You do know that you don't actually need the clutch for upshifts; if you hold the gear lever up as you're accelerating through one gear, it will snick seamlessly into the next as you chop the throttle. Pretending to operate the clutch will help with learning the timing needed. I very rarely use the clutch for upshifts once out of first.

Perhaps you already know all this and it's not part of the problem. Thought I'd mention anyway.rest
