An instructor pilot reported the student was attempting a soft field landing and following a tire failure lost control resulting in a runway excursion.

Narrative

I was conducting a flight lesson with a student at ZZZ airport practicing landings. Coming into the traffic pattern I reminded the student of the dangers of abusing the brakes on landing. After the first landing with instructor guidance the student pilot (SP) stated he would like to change runways due to departing traffic leaving the area who was utilizing Runway XX. I helped student get into the downwind for Runway XY instead by overflying the field and tear dropping into the left downwind. Upon established I told the student to show me a short field landing and reiterated the importance of being light on the brakes as student has not followed directions with other instructors. Upon touchdown of the short field landing; SP slams on the brakes and I requested the flight controls. After doing another lap I reminded student a third time of abusing the brakes and what could happen to our tires. I then told the student to show me a soft field landing and upon touchdown; student sideloaded and locked the brakes and popped the left main tire. I took controls immediately and utilized full right rudder and right braking to maintain the runway as much as possible. We ended up slightly off the runway with the nose and right main gear on the pavement with the left gear in the grass. I was able to dodge all edge lights with no damage to the aircraft or any part of the airport environment. I believe the student not listening to my instructions was the cause of the problem and I believe if a student doesn't follow/or ignore directions consistently we should terminate the flight immediately to prevent a reoccurrence.
