About Peter

Bio

I’ve spent over twenty years working in finance, commercial insurance and enterprise risk—covering everything from underwriting strategy and cyber risk to claims, finance, and compliance—and one thing has always stood out to me: people learn best when complicated ideas finally start to feel simple. That’s why I enjoy tutoring so much. I’ve had the chance to work with Fortune 500 companies and small businesses alike, and I bring that same practical, real-world perspective into every session.

I’ve spent over twenty years working in finance, commercial insurance and enterprise risk—covering everything from underwriting strategy and cyber risk to claims, finance, and compliance—and one thing has always stood out to me: people learn best when complicated ideas finally start to feel simple. That’s why I enjoy tutoring so much. I’ve had the chance to work with Fortune 500 companies and small businesses alike, and I bring that same practical, real-world perspective into every session. I regularly work with college and MBA students, underwriters, brokers, analysts, and professionals who are new to the U.S. or global insurance markets, and I always tailor our lessons to your goals and the way you learn best.

My teaching style is down-to-earth, clear, and rooted in real examples. We’ll walk through the tools and scenarios that professionals use every day—risk assessments, loss runs, Excel modeling, claims evaluations, coverage comparisons, and more—so you’re not just memorizing concepts, you’re truly understanding them. Whether you're learning P&C basics, diving into cyber or captives, preparing for coursework or certifications, or getting ready for a career transition, my goal is to make the material approachable and immediately useful. I am also an avid hiker and that is where I do most of my big idea thinking. I encourage my students to find a similar space away from the books to allow the mind to work through problems.

I hold an MS in Insurance and Risk Management from Boston University and a Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting and Finance, along with designations such as CPCU, ARM-Public Entities, RMPE, ARe, CRM, and CIC. I’d love to learn more about what you’re working toward and help you build confidence in any insurance, finance, or risk-related area.
