'Have seen'
Dear teachers;
I have trouble with the usage of 'have seen', and I am wondering if the following sentences do make sense and sound natural.
1. I've seen her for three years as a teacher, her progress is remarkable.
2. My mother got sick, and I've seen her a couple of days.
3. She is so poor that I've seen her through college.
4. I've seen the match since the beginning, but I haven't seen a exciting scene.
5. I've seen her be selfish for ten years
Thank you very much in advance.

Hello Anon 1. I've seen her for three years as a teacher, her progress is remarkable. "See" here is "meet" or "receive (as a student)".
