Is their a second person noun?

No, the word their is an adjective, a word that describes a noun. The pronoun form is theirs, a third person pronoun. The pronoun theirs replaces the noun that belongs to them. Examples:

Adjective: I went to their house for a cook out last Saturday.

Pronoun: The blue house on the corner is theirs.

Please note that not all dictionaries agree that the form their (his, hers, its) is an adjective, some say that it is (they are) a pronoun. My source is Merriam-Webster. If your teacher does not agree, then go with your teacher.
