As a contractor? I have to say I find this doubtful. Without seeing the contract, neither of us can say for sure, but I'd be surprised if it specified mentoring.

I've been a contractor and led teams and mentored juniors on a number of occasions - I don't think it's very unusual at all. I don't know if it would be literally specified in a written contract in those terms, but it's very much what happens in reality.
