Narrative:
We took off runway xx to practice some night takeoffs and landings. Upon the second takeoff somewhere around 600-700 ft the rpm dropped drastically then the engine power dropped and we could not climb. Almost simultaneously I took control from my student because I could hear stall warning and the airplane was getting uncontrollable [quickly] so I pitched down [advised ATC] and landed on runway yy (opposite direction of the runway we took off from) with a tailwind. Just about 15 ft I could hear the engine rev up again.
