I think the second one is better. Do you mind if I ask a question of my own in here? The website is taking too much time checking if "there's spam" and, well, it's pretty urgent.

Hi,
#1 seems a bit redundant to me. #2 is better, although I have to say that it would probably be more natural to use a progressive form and to include an object/wh-clause.
For example: He is teaching himself math. He is teaching himself how to play the piano.
Something along those lines. Another way to refer to a person who teaches himse
