The purpose of the study is to identify and describe the different influence of Kumon Learning Method toward the learning of English as a Foreign Language between the existing students and new students. The reasearcher used descriptive qualitative approach to support this research. The population of this research is English as a Foreign Language students in Kumon Sweta which consist of 29 students, and all of them were taken as samples. In this research, data was collected by observation and interview. The data was analyzed using the theory from Miles and Huberman (2014), started from data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verifying. The research showed that there are differences in the influence of Kumon learning method toward the learning of English as a foreign language to the existing and new students.
