Oh and for those who ask themself: "what kind of strange accent...." .... Well I'm from Belgium. If there are any suggestion or unclear parts, please do reply.

Congrats on your first tutorial.

Positive:
I really liked your custom Tutorial 1 writing

No back ground music / noise

Don't worry about your voice, you sound clear enough.

You explain what you are doing

Bad:
You should record with gmod on a low resolution. Even the text on the screen was a blur.

Quite a lot of "Uhhhs", it seemed a bit bad organized, write down what you are going to do and what the expression is going to be. It makes the tutorial quicker and more enjoyable.

Split up tutorial. Youtube is a bad host, Wegame and Revver are much better for these things.

Minor thing:
The colors of the displays was in my opinion very bad. Dark color for "on" and bright color for "off", That doesn't make much sense.

Conclusion:
All in all a very good first tutorial. If you manage to take care of the flaws it is going to be great.

Also, turn the resolution down for this kind of thing. Set it to 640x480, have the video at 320x240 and whenever the watcher needs to see text (on an expression gate for example) then add that in with Windows Movie Maker or whatever you use.
