Not many folks know that remote screen viewing/control is already a feature of the Messages app on MacOS. And while that doesn't directly help an iPad user, if they also have a Mac, you can share an iOS screen if it's hooked up with a lightning cable!

Google appears to point to Sharing screen with TeamViewer to do this natively without a Mac near the iPad. I've not used it, but it seems like it might be worth checking out.
