In the same direction it tilts all year round, with respect to the orbital plane. The seasons come from the apparent effect of change of angle given by the Earth's orbit. The axis does precess, but that is very gradual, not an annual movement.

Why is it colder in winter when the sun rays is less concentrated?

Because of how the earth is tilted. In the western hemisphere in the winter season, the earth is tilted further away from the sun in comparison to the eastern hemisphere because of how the earth sits on its axis. When it is tilted further away from the sun in this point in the revolution, it will recieve less light because of its angle.
