Boot into the recovery partition.

From there (disk utility) delete your main partition - create a new partition (default values). Then install OS X into your new partition.

All of this from within your recovery partition.
 
I don't think he will have a recovery partition on that if it's on Mavericks. They only have the Internet Recovery and that you get to by holding down Command+Option+R.

Mavericks also creates a hidden recovery partition on the drive that a command-r will boot to. On newer Macs you have both the drive based command-r and the Internet recovery based command-option-r like you mentioned.
