Although he's not an official patron of grammar, you could go with St.
Columbanus. According to his life, he devoted himself enthusiastically
to the study of grammar.

Or what about St. Gotteschalk, patron of linguists and translators?

Or if your student feels particularly desperate, St. Jude (lost causes),
or St. Medard (the menally ill).
