Both isto and este refer to this. However, isto refers to abstract things whereas este refers to concrete things.
Ex :
Este estudante é português
Isto é muito difícil.
* There's no word like ista .

I know just how you can get puzzled by that since both are translated into 'this' in English.
So, let's start with "Este", which is a demonstrative pronoun and precedes a male noun.
Eg.: Este homem é meu amigo.
Because it precedes a noun, it also varies according to it being singular or plural.
Eg.: Estes homens são meus amigos.
'Isto', in turn, doesn't work as a determiner as 'este' so it doesn't precede a noun in a sentence (the noun then is usually implied)
Eg.: Isto é um lápis
Because it doesn't precede a noun, it's invariable either.
I hope it was helpful! ;)

Este? Não você deveria de saber a diferença entre "isso", "isto" e "aquilo" para não dizer que deve de se usar "este".

Se uma coisa está na sua mão eu digo ESTE. Se uma coisa está na minha mão eu digo ISTO. E se uma coisa está na mão de alguém que não está na conversa eu digo AQUILO. :D
