The educational community, already hit for a long time by issues of stress and low motivation, is faced with the passage of COVID-19 in a crisis for trying to manage with certain well-being and in a virtual way the content of the subjects, the evaluation tests, the monitoring of students among other issues. For all this, it has become necessary for teachers to enhance their social and communication skills. This article presents the problems suffered by university professors at a private university in Spain regarding health, emotional and social well-being. The objectives set is to know by the students how important it is for them that their teachers have social and communication skills. In addition, the characteristics that a good teacher should have were addressed.
