I did this a few years back, though it was in person and not remote. > Since we're remote, should I schedule a recurring meeting for us to chat every day? Or should I keep it more free-form? I would schedule a short chat daily for the first week or so while making it clear that they can reach out any time they have questions. At the end of the first week put the ball in their court by asking if the daily catch-ups are helping or if they are a waste of time. No need to do something that neither of you would get any benefit from. > How can I help my intern grow technically and professionally? Code reviews and pair programming help. Any questions that were purely technical and didn't require domain knowledge I would follow up with "what have you tried?". I believe it is important to teach the individual that they should put some effort to figure things out on their own before asking for help. I definitely encourage asking for help as well and will point them in the direction so they could potentially figure the solution out on their own. If they are still stuck I would then help them figure it out directly 1 on 1. By giving pointers on how to find the answer to their questions it will help them later be more self-sufficient in the long run. > Should I ask him for feedback on how I'm doing every couple of weeks? Yes, but phrasing is important. Saying "How am I doing?" is most likely not going to be helpful but making about them could be. Asking questions like "What do you feel is holding you back?" or "Do you feel like you are set up for success?". Both questions can give you an idea on how you are doing without making it about you. Some people may not feel comfortable saying anything potentially negative if somebody asks them "how am I doing?" but if they are asked about how they are doing and their feelings they may open up more and, of course, it can give you a glimpse in to how well you are providing actual mentorship.
