Did Jesus' use them? Well, some of those rules just made sense, some not much. So I would say he probably did, but not because of their origin from Rabbi schools, but because some made sense.

I just researched 1st century Jewish hermeneutics. I found the 7 Rules of Hillel. Other than the 7th, I do not find any of them to be uniquely Jewish at all. And the 7th is clearly the source of much of the scribes' and lawyers "heavy burdens" which Jesus rejected repeatedly.
So I guess that resolves the issue of Jesus' supposed "rabbinical methods".
