A summer season results when the sun is in the sky longer and its electromagnetic radiation strikes Earth at a higher angle.
Mid summer in the northern hemisphere. Max at around June 23rd.
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.
Where it was on the other 364 days of the year. The North Pole does not move, you are thinking of the Magnetic North Pole.
The North Pole tilts towards the sun during the summer solstice, which occurs around June 21st each year. This tilt causes the Northern Hemisphere to experience longer daylight hours and warmer temperatures during this time.
It only does this if you live north of the equator. South of the equator, it is the shortest day. Thre reason is that the Earth's north pole is more or less pointed towards the Sun on June 21st.
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.
That is the summer solstice. (sole-stuss)
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.

Summer
Your answer depends on where you are. At the South Pole when the Earth is tilted toward the Sun, it's summer.
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.

I assume you're referring to the tilt of the Earth. The axis is not imaginary, it is the line about which the Earth rotates. The 23.5 degrees is angle between that axis and the orbital path of the Earth around the Sun. In January, the North pole (North end of the axis) is tilted away from the Sun and in June the Earth is on the opposite side of the Sun but still tilted the same direction, so the North Pole is tilted toward the Sun at that point in its orbit.
the north pole is tilted toward the sun.
