Have someone taught you is not correct. It might be "Has someone taught you"
The difference, then is this. It's more a matter of perspective as they can both mean the same.
"Did someone teach you how to swim?" (I might say this after seeing a friend jump into a pool and swim and I did not know he knew how.)
"Has someone taught you how to swim?" (I might say this before my friend jumps into the pool to make sure he already knows how to swim.)
