There's is never wrong in my opinion, but I understand what you mean. What type of formal writing are you referring to?

I was told by my native English teachers and by my university professors to never use contractions in formal writing.

I wouldn’t say it’s “incorrect” because contractions like that are proper in English. However, your teachers/professors have a point in that, at least in certain types of writing, we are told to avoid contractions because they can come across as too informal.
