It is certainly possible. Obviously such a thing would require the monk to learn the Norse language, which would mean it would be years before he would be teaching them anything that required language to convey.

Educated slaves rarely appear in the sagas and in fact slaves are rarely mentioned at all for that matter, unlike, for example, in Roman culture where Greek slaves played a prominent role. It is likely that most Norse slaves faced a pretty grim outlook.

The Mongols were a relatively backward people in the scholastic sense of the word, and hired conquered scholars to educate them.

The Mongols were also very tolerant of most religions in their vast empire, and had priests help "pacify" their various peoples.
