I taught (thinking to myself not sure if it’s the right word taught) to myself that I needed to be fluent in programming languages to set myself apart from others in the job market and increase my quantitative skills.

Is the proper word "taught" used correctly?

Thank you

No. The correct word is "thought". The word "taught" means that you were teaching someone. Learn to use a dictionary. There are several excellent ones on line:

You may also type the word you need to look up into your browser followed by the word "definition" or just "def", click or press search or enter, and definitions and links to dictionaries will come up.
