Narrative:
I was in aircraft X with a student. We were doing pattern work on runway xx at ZZZ airport along with two other aircraft and we were on final approach for [runway] xx when aircraft Y reported 3 mile final for [runway] xx. He had been reporting a straight-in approach for [runway] xx since 10 miles out; but as I came over the threshold of [runway] xx; I noticed he was over the threshold of the opposing runway xy. I immediately had my student do a go-around and miss going head-on into this traffic reporting the wrong runway. After we called our go-around; there was no more radio calls from aircraft Y. This pilot clearly needs to be contacted by the proper authorities and possibly needs to go back and be retrained.
