The flight instructor reported that during the landing roll, with the student pilot at the controls, the airplane began to veer to the right. The flight instructor tapped the brakes to correct back to the left. The airplane continued to the right and the flight instructor applied the brakes harder, when the tail came up and the airplane nosed over. The flight instructor reported that he did not realize that the student pilot was also on the brakes at the same time. There was no report of a mechanical failure or malfunction.
