In New Zealand English, pear rhymes with both bear and fear.

So in a pinch, you can just pretend you learnt English in New Zealand.

Does pear rhyme with beer (how I pronounce fear) or air (how I pronounce bear)?

Pear rhymes with pair and bear and bare and fair and fare, and not with peer or pier or beer or fear or here. So there.
