Abstract
Mentoring and student support are a fundamental part of any university. It is even mandatory for every institution to have a department dedicated to creating and maintaining active communication with students to understand their needs and problems. Several studies have shown how mentoring positively affects students' lives ranging from emotional and psychological to academic performance. According to previous work, mentoring can help detect mental problems early, such as anxiety and stress, that can trigger more severe problems. This paper seeks to analyze these aspects and the effects of the pandemic on students based on a review of previous research. Additionally, a general survey was applied to 40 students of Economics at ESPOL. The data showed that students say they feel vulnerable to psychological problems. During the covid-19 pandemic, they have increased levels of stress and anxiety due to confinement and health problems, all of which have led to low levels of academic performance and even student performance dropout. This work will help provide an overview of how mentoring can contribute to the socio-emotional development of university students.
