Narrative:
[I was] practicing touch and goes; staying in the pattern making my radio calls at every phase of flight at traffic pattern altitude at a non-towered airport. [I] didn't hear any other pilots making radio calls. [I] made my radio call from right base to final looking and checking for traffic for runway 25. I had a stabilized approach when suddenly another airplane had come from behind and over the top of me for landing.I side stepped and did a go around and landed. After the event I spoke with the other pilot. He told me he was on the wrong frequency. I asked him how he entered the pattern; he told me he was north east and entered a right base and he didn't see me. I was already on final at 500 ft. I told him that there [are] a lot of new students training at this airport and procedure is 45 entry to runway 25 at pattern altitude. He mentioned that he was familiar with the airport and visits frequently. I said we're both lucky that we're standing here and able to talk to each other to evaluate the near miss.
