I can't say I ever heard of that expression. I Googled it and found this.
According to that, a teaching system in which people work in small groups. The teacher or facilitator will ask a question, and the students discuss it among themselves and vote on the answer. The students learn from each other in this method.
In English, your "peers" are other people that are on your same level. Your friends and classmates at school are your peers. The teachers are not.
So "peer instruction" is learning from your classmates, rather than from the instructor.
