Narrative:

We were doing touch and goes at ZZZ; the landings and the approach of the student were very good and stable. On the last landing the student landed the airplane slightly to the right of centerline and; being longitudinally aligned; I proceeded to put the flaps 0 so the student could apply full thrust and start another takeoff which is part of a normal touch and go. After applying full thrust the student wanted to catch centerline by applying left rudder; but the student overcorrected by applying too much left rudder and the airplane started to skid to the left side. Noticing the abnormality and now being on the left side of centerline facing about 20 degrees to the left; attempting a takeoff at an airspeed lower than rotation speed with flaps up would not be a good idea. I decided to announce 'my controls.' when I put the power to idle; applying brakes and aborting the takeoff; I started to use right rudder in order to catch centerline or at least being parallel the runway to avoid going outside the runway. Because of the speed and simple physics; the left main gear strut started to lower while the right strut started to rise almost putting the airplane in a side load situation when I decided to straight the nose wheel and keep applying the brakes plus aerodynamic braking. By that time I talked to ATC saying we are aborting takeoff. There was nowhere else to go but the grass. The airplane came to a complete stop on the grass with the engine still running when I used my checklist to shut down and secure the airplane. The student and I did a walk around the airplane to see if the airplane sustained any damage but there was no damage at all. No runway lights were damaged either.
