The 'equinoxes' occur in March and September. At those times, neither pole is tilted toward or away from the sun. At the time of the June solstice, the north pole reaches its maximum tilt toward the sun, whereas at the time of the December solstice, the south pole is at its maximum tilt toward the sun.
From March 21 until September 21, maximum on June 21.
Mid summer in the northern hemisphere. Max at around June 23rd.
the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, both the Southern and Northern Hemispheres are tilted toward the Sun, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, and the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun.
No. Whichever pole is tilted toward the sun, its hemisphere is having Summer. (The tilt is the reason. It has nothing to do with distances from the sun.)

Summer
There is only one axis and it is always tilted. The part of the axis we call the 'north' pole is tilted toward the sun in the northern summer, and the 'south' pole is tilted toward the sun during the southern summer. That said, the earth itself is a little closer to the sun during the southern summer/northern winter.
When it's winter in the Southern Hemisphere it's summer in the northern hemisphere. Therefore the North geographic pole is tilted towards the sun and the South geographic pole is tilted away from the sun.
In June, it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere of Earth. So I'd assume that the Northern Hemisphere is closer to the Sun at that time, and that would probably occur because the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun during June. In fact, the Summer Solstice is in the middle of June somewhere.

24 Hours. On summer solstice the earth is tilted toward the sun and it shines continuously at the north pole.
the north pole is tilted toward the sun.
That is the summer solstice. (sole-stuss)
From March 21 until September 21, maximum on June 21.
At its full extent, the South Pole is tilted about 23.5 degrees toward or away from the Sun.
When it is winter in the northern hemisphere and summer in the southern hemisphere. The North Pole is tilted away from the Sun in December. (That means that the Northern Hemisphere is also tilted away from the Sun in December.)
