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.
Instructor pilot reported on the takeoff roll the aircraft's left engine failed and the instructor initiated an RTO.
