Thanks AJ, for that prompt! I found this article which includes in the list of helpful suggestions a few points a hypnotist can address:

Use metaphor and imagery to "bridge" related facts

Teach a client to employ the hypnagogic state as they approach sleep to input information 

Reduce stress and anxiety which might interfere with not only learning, but with recall (anchoring a desired state)
