There are four ways to talk about the simple future in English:
will			I will meet with her tomorrow.
going to		I'm going to meet with her tomorrow.
present progressive	I'm meeting with her tomorrow.
simple present		I meet with her tomorrow.

will: subject + will + base form
	He      will      go     to the cinema.

going to: subject + [be] + going to + base form
	    He       is    going to      go     to the cinema.

present progressive: subject + [be] + verb(ing)
		 	He      is      going   to the cinema (tomorrow).

simple present: subject + present verb
		  He          goes     to the cinema (tomorrow).

I will meet with her tomorrow. = I just decided in this moment. For example she wants to meet now but I am to busy, so I tell her I can meet tomorrow. (no plan before)

I'm going to meet with her tomorrow. = I made this plan before (maybe it's only in my mind, or maybe it's on a schedule).

I'm meeting with her tomorrow. = I made this plan and some arrangement/preparation to meet with her. (We both know about the meeting.)

I meet with her tomorrow. = It's an appointment, it's on a schedule, maybe I meet with her every week on Friday.

I should have woken up earlier.
  modal +have+past participle
(This is the grammar we will talk about next week.)
---
plans: things I decide and can arrange and prepare
predictions: things I cannot decide, such as the weather

It will snow next weekend. I read it on the internet.
= It's going to snow next weekend.

Look at the dark clouds! It's going to rain very soon.
(If I see it coming, hear the thunder, etc. I have to use "going to" for the prediction.)

future progressive:
At 7pm tonight, I will be teaching another class.
At 7pm tonight, I'm going to be teaching another class.

[future of 'be'] + verb(ing)

= teaching will be in progress at that time
