Yeah you can get lessons for kiting.  Most lessons will be for kitesurfing, but the principles are the same.  This place gives lessons http://www.chicagokitesurfing.com/training.html in the chicago area, and they will teach you how to kite with a mountainboard.

The hardest part about kiting in my opinion is getting used to flying the kite, after that it's getting used to riding with the kite. So really if you learn how to kiteboard on water, you will be able to apply the same kite flying techniques on land.
