Narrative:
The [student pilot] was beginning a soft-field takeoff on runway 4 at ssi when she observed the diamond twin-star in the flare for landing runway 22 at the 1000 foot marker. I took the controls and was able to slow the airplane and exit the runway to avoid a collision. I followed the twin-star to the ramp to talk with the pilot about what had just occurred. He was a [local pilot] and admitted he had been on the wrong CTAF frequency.
