In what ways can I improve my writing mechanics?

In what ways can I improve my writing mechanics?
This is probably a really stupid question. But here it goes....

I am currently a Graduate student. I consistently get A's and B's in my courses. However, whenever I write a paper I get absolutely destroyed on the writing mechanics on the rubric. I always try to use 3rd party services which check for grammar. However, even in this case those services can only get me so far.  My parents also review my papers as well when I ask them to. They both have PhD's. So they do know their stuff. But again, even that can only take me so far. 

Anyways, what would you recommend I do to hone these skills? Because I obviously have not had issue with comprehending material, but as previously stated professors often pick on my grammar in papers. Understandably.
Better there than here where all my stuff is
