Make the person as comfortable as possible. 
Turn the person onto their SIDE if they are not awake and aware.
Ask someone to stay nearby in case further help is needed. Waking up to a crowd can be embarrassing and confusing for a person after a seizure. Encourage people to step back and give the person some room. For example, gently guide them away from traffic, train or subway platforms, heights, or sharp objects. If a person is wandering or confused, help steer them clear of dangerous situations. Move or guide away from harmful or sharp objects. Some may start with minor symptoms but lead to loss of consciousness or a fall that could cause injury. While most seizures only last a few minutes, seizures can be unpredictable. Timing the seizure will help you determine if emergency help is needed. Look at your watch and time the seizure from beginning to the end of the active seizure. Talk calmly and reassuringly to the person during and after the seizure – it will help as they recover from the seizure. Remain calm – it will help others stay calm too. STAY with the person and start timing the seizure.
