There can be hundreds and thousands of different manners in which one can introduce oneself, but to generalize the self-introduction process by a great deal, you normally deliver these pieces of information:
~♥name
~♥age
~♥place of living
~♥work
~♥school
~♥family members
~♥hobby
~♥greetings
You don’t have to try to memorize all the expressions necessary for introducing yourself in Korean as the situation might vary and you might have a lot of information and stories unique to yourself, no single detailed chapter on self-introduction can cover everything you need to know. But basically, the sentences patterns that you get to use a lot are the following:
a) ABC은/는 XYZ이에요. [ABC-eun/neun XYZ-i-e-yo.] = ABC is XYZ.
Ex) -
~♥I’m a student. = 저는 학생이에요. [jeo-neun hak-saeng-i-e-yo.]
~♥I’m a teacher. = 저는 선생님이에요. [jeo-neun seon-saeng-nim-i-e-yo.]

~♥I am 30 years old. = 저는 30살이에요. [jeo-neun seo-reun-sal-i-e-yo.]
2. ABC은/는 XYZ이/가 [ABC-eun/neun XYZ-i/ga] + VERB = As for ABC, XYZ + VERB.
Ex)

~♥저는 취미가 수영이에요. [jeo-neun chwi-mi-ga su-yeong-i-e-yo.] = My hobby is swimming. (lit. “As for me, the hobby, swimming is.”)
3. ABC은/는 XYZ에/에서 [ABC-eun/neun XYZ-e/e-seo] + VERB = ABC + VERB + in XYZ.
