On most helicopters, the main rotor turns in a clockwise motion. If you were sitting in the cockpit looking out the front, the rotor blades would swing from the left side 'round the front to the right side.
French made helicopters are the exception, they rotate the opposite direction, which can cause some confusion for the pilot if they are not prepared.
