Thanks.

There are more differences than you think. North Koreans do not only learn the southern version of the language because of the accent which stigmatizes them, but as well because of communication problems. North Koreans usually do not know any English vocabularies, which have entered the language of the South (and they are growing day by day). North Koreans have as well more Chinese words in their language. There is even a generational gap among South Koreans, who do not know many English words which have become part of the South Korean language.

Move to North Korea. There are no North Koreans on this platform because North Koreans living in North Korea don't have access to the World Wide Web. You must be very lucky to find a North Korean outside of North Korea who is willing and able to teach Korean. You might find someone in a Northern Chinese province or in Japan maybe. You could try contacting this university: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korea_University_(Japan).

But North and South Korean are mutually intelligible. If I were you, I'd work with a South Korean teacher and South Korean resources until intermediate level and then compare the differences.

Edit: I just checked and in the language partner search, several North Koreans pop up, so you might try contacting those users directly for help.

You could try with the Korean-Chinese community in Yangbian in Northeastern China. There live many North Koreans, especially in Dangdong. There is as well a sizeable community of North Koreans in South Korea. When they come to the South, they learn the South Korean accent in integration courses organized by the South Korean government.

For summary, refer to 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Korean_standard_language
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North%E2%80%93South_differences_in_the_Korean_language

I don't believe you can find a North Korean teacher here.
If you want further information, try to contact North Korea University site which we could not access here in South Korea.

e.g.
