Negatively? No. Unwanted? Absolutely. Unnecessary? Arguably. I'm not at all surprised the player got miffed, though leaving seemed like a bit of a strong reaction.

Look, unless people are WANTING advice, it's not the role of a Mentor to provide it. If someone appears to be struggling, or if you're having trouble, you speak up: "The pulls are a bit big for me" or "I'm having to heal the DPS a lot, try to focus on hate a bit more." If they're new, you can ASK them if they want help, otherwise I'd hold off even doing that.
