Probably yes, but it depends on the exact labeling on that mortar, and what kind of tile and wall surface you have. Check to see what kinds of tile (ceramic, porcelain, travertine, etc.) it sticks to, and what size of tile. Also see what kinds of substrates it's approved for. Substrate is the surface to which you want to attach the tile. If the bag says it sticks to cementious backerboard, and you have tile backerboard on the walls, then it's good to go.

Use a spirit level then starting from the longest straightest part begin to install your tiles. You will need an adhesive suitable to the weight of the tile you are using, a tile cutter to cut tiles to fit odd gaps and grout to finish off the joints between the tiles.
