If you watch Grammarly's advertising, the core market seems to not be English language learners but college graduates that are having a hard time deciding between the usage of "were" and "we're".

Snark aside, there are plenty of English grammar resources that can be consumed in book form or online without attending an American high school or compromising your privacy. A solid one is the Chicago Manual of Style:
