Narrative:

Feb/09 at approximately XA15CDT while practicing landings with an instrument rated student; my student was on her approach to land on runway xxr with the wind coming from 210 degrees gusting to 16 KTS. The student was on a stabilized visual approach on short final. When the student was already over the runway; she began losing directional control and drifted to the left of the runway entering on a stall. At that time; I decided to go around; applying full power. The student let go all controls; the plane had already begun to go behind the power curve. As I continued to try to stabilize the plane; it began to turn onto its longitudinal axis; in the process; scratching the right wingtip of the aircraft and under skin paint. If I had failed to regain positive control of the aircraft during my student's approach; we would have most likely experienced a major impact into the runway.
