Narrative:
Me and my student were cleared for a touch and go on runway xx. Upon landing safely; my student added power to begin the take off when we both immediately noticed that the left engine was not giving us power. I assumed the flight controls and pulled both throttles back and maintained centerline. That is when the left engine failed. I then continued rolling down the runway and exited off on taxiway xx where we then contacted ground. Both the airplane and crew were safe. The engine never started again; and we requested a tow from the airport to the local FBO. An hour later we started the plane again; and attributed the engine failure due to heat after talking to the owner about what happened.
