Narrative:
My first flight [with this student was] a night cross country into an unfamiliar airport and terrain. Flew to airport; overflew the airport to check windsock; and made a teardrop entry to enter the left downwind for runway 22. Once landed; student started to use both left and right rudder and brakes; airplane became unstable I asked for flight controls; but students foot was still on rudder and brakes and plane ended up sharply veering to the left into the dirt on the side of the runway. Airplane ended up receiving prop damage and right wingtip plastic broke and nose wheel looked slightly bent.
