Yeah, no, as everyone said, Rousseau didn't personally tutor Robespierre; Robespierre said he saw him once, and he wrote later how it was Rousseau who "taught me to appreciate the dignity of my own nature" etc, and became a bit of an obsessee as we know. C'est tout. I can only think that maybe "taught" was misconstrued just a liiiittle? ^^
