**1)** 先生は私と会ってくれる。

How is this sentence correct?

[先生は私と会ってくれる] this setence feels unnatural to me becauseと会う means subject and
person(me) are going to meet each other so how くれる can be used in this
setence. But if I use に会う It means only subject is doing a favor of going to
meet the person. Therefore, personに会ってあげる/くれる is grammartically correct but
not と会ってあげる/くれる

**In conclusion,**

**先生は私と会ってくれる = incorrect + unnatural**

**先生は私に会ってくれる = correct + natural**

question
grammar meaning
と会ってくれる feels unnatural
So, I think this is confusing you because you are attaching the `に` to `くれる`
and not `会う`. While that's a reasonable interpretation and you could certainly
argue for parsing the sentence out like this: `(私に)(会ってくれる)`, I think it will
be easier to understand if you parse it like this: `(私に会って)(くれる)`.

Concretely, the important thing is that while `に` can be used to mark the
recipient associated with `くれる`, you can also attach `くれる` to all kinds of
clauses including those that have no `に` or contain other uses of `に`. For
example, if we look at the below sentence:

> 友達が私の郵便箱に手紙を入れてくれた (My friend put a letter in my mailbox for me)

This `に` is clearly not marking the recipient of `くれる`, as it's the speaker
and not the mailbox who is receiving the favor here. If you can accept that
the `に` or `と` in your case is attaching to the verb `会う`, either structure
should make sense. You can read about the differences between `に会う` and `と会う`

particle-%E3%81%A8-or-the-particle-%E3%81%AB-with-%E3%81%82%E3%81%86), but if
you want further evidence that both of these are reasonable you can see that
there are plenty of Google search results for both

Some of the `と` are conditional and a lot of the `に` are either marking time
or part of `のに`, but if you scroll a bit you can find examples of both
particles attached to people who are being met.
