I'm an American Sign Language Instructor and so it allows me to teach students from all over the world. I schedule my class, then send the link to my student for our class session. Zoom also allows me to "Share" my screen when I need to show my student something on my computer. There is also a "Whiteboard" feature you can use and tons more if you are teaching, holding meetings, etc. I also use it to reconnect with family who have moved. Updates each other, check in, etc. If you're a mentor in New York, you can meet with your mentee who lives in Georgia, you can set up a Zoom session to have recurring meetings with no set time or meetings w/specific times.
