Put your hands on the riders waist & lean forward into them a bit. This will assist you to get used to leaning through corners too - keep yourself in line with the rider at all times.
Look over their shoulder, if you can, so you can see what's coming and be ready for the next corner or any possible braking situations.
When it looks like you're going to brake, reach your hands forward and brace them on the tank, holding yourself away from the rider.
Use your thigh muscles to grip the riders hips, which will also assist in braking situations.
Ask the rider to take it a bit easier while you get used to it.
If there's a grab rail behind you, you might find hanging onto that will help you out (but I prefer the above options, personally).
Good luck & enjoy.
