Narrative:

While doing practice approachs. Ny approach cleared us for the approach and turned us over to swf tower. We checked in and were told to report procedures turn inbound, which we did. Swf tower then told us to report final approach fix inbound. This was an NDB approach, my student's first in a high performance aircraft. He got behind the aircraft and the approach, and at the same time we were informed of traffic which preoccupied me only to come back to an aircraft nt on course. I helped student to reestablish course, but missed the FAF call and made a low approach. The controller informed me of such while on the go around. With student's unfamiliarity with aircraft, and this type of approach the hardest to teach, plus searching for VFR aircraft on a 4 mi and hazy, the call evaded me.
