LET ME KNOW SOMETHING - you say this when you want someone to share a "knowledge" (which could be about a person, an animal, a place, or a happening) to you
TELL ME SOMETHING -you say this when you just want someone to "speak" to you about whatever
TEACH ME SOMETHING - you say this when you want to be taught by someone on something (ex. a dance step), when you want to know a "process" for doing something

That make sense. Thank you !!
I typed “ Please tell me the difference between…” as my question, but I also could say “ let me know the difference between….” and “ teach me the difference between…”, couldn’t l?
If so, I would like to know which one is said often.

in such case, "please tell me the difference" and "let me know the difference" are the right choices
"teach me the difference" is a bit unnatural
