I think it's a combination of this ^ and the fact that I think Peter WANTS to be the Alpha/head of family. He is very ambitious and with him being older than Derek I think he also knows a lot because he took interest in learning everything. I also think he hides in the shadows and snoops all the time. He gets to see a lot that he shouldn't necessarily be privy to by sneaking around. Even though he claimed he could do the memmory technique, we saw that he actually COULDN'T do it very well. That episode gave me the impression that he had really just WITNESSED it (from having it done to him by Talia and by snooping around seeing it done to others) more than he had actually practiced it. From the few flashback scenes we've watched I definitely don't get the impression that he was at all trained or being prepped by Talia.
