There are a number of problems you may be faced with. You don't say if the early dropped fruits are misshapen, brown or otherwise disfigured... that information could be helpful in diagnoses.
Based on the assumption that the tree is a singular tree with no other such types nearby, it's probable the tree is simply not being pollinated sufficiently. Most pear trees are "self-unfruitful", meaning they don't self-pollinate and need at least one other tree nearby.
Another factor to contemplate is whether or not you had a late frost last spring. alternately, if you had an unusually warm winter with little or no cold weather, the pear tree's fruitfulness would be affected.
If you have curled, discolered leaves, unusual dicolorations on fruits it's possible you have funugus, or insect problems...
