Depends on:
Humidity, Temperature (ambient and tire), PSI in Tires, type of tires, altitude, modifications, track quality, and the driver itself.
Just launch at the stand still limiter and feather the clutch. Otherwise he'll have to figure it out for himself on how to do a smooth launch - everyone and every car is different.
EDIT: sounded too mean, sorry!

Its up to you to know the car, each launch is always going to be different unless you have a program to hold the rpms. Launch off rev-limiter on semi-slicks, the closer to vtec you are, the better off you are, just don't compromise traction. just be warned you probably will cut some life off your diff doing this.

Slowly and cautiously from traffic lights and stop signs.
