Firstly "grammar" not "grammer".
Your example should be "two" as in a thing or two things.
"To" is the preposition as in "I went to the store" or "I gave the book to the man".
"Too" means "as well" or in the sense of "too much".
"Two" is the number.

Two is a number as in 2, to is to and from as in" I am going to the store." Too is also. Grandma is going too.
I can teach my classmates a thing or TWO (2) as well.

Two is the number.
"I know a thing or two about grammar. Trust me."
Too means in addition or also.
"I'm good with spelling, too."
To is a preposition: you use it to show direction. It also appears at the beginning of many infinitive verbs.
"I want to go to Bali and teach English." (first to is before an infinitive, the second to shows direction -- where I want to go).
Just remember, if it's a number, use two. If you can substitute "also" in the sentence and it means the same thing, use too. Use to for everything else. You should be right 95 percent of the time.

'Two' is quantity or the number 2. This would apply to your example phrase. "I can teach my class mates a thing or two as well".
'too' means also or in excess. "I had too much to eat tonight".
'to' is a preposition which has many uses. The definition in my dictionary takes up about 1/3 of a page.

Like everyone said, its two..
think of it this way.. a thing or 2, you talking about a number( 1 thing or 2)..
Too is used when comparing things.. lets say you play soccer, then i would say ( You play soccer, and I play soccer TOO)
To is used right before or after what you would call a (DO).. examples for that also..
I would love TO go out
I need TO go home
Lets go TO a restaurant

It should be a thing or two. It is very confusing. Why can't they have different words for it. grammer is with an a (grammar)

"I can teach my classmates a thing or TWO as well."
- use in a numeric setting (one) thing or two
I can talk TO my students.
- used as a preposition
I like teaching TOO.
- just another way of saying, "I like teaching also."

I can teach my classmates a thing or two.
I am going to town; my friend is going too.
It is too hot for me.
Two= 2
To is a preposition
Too means also or excessive, depending on how it is used.
