Airliners approach on a very low (2-3 degree) glidepath, while a 152/172 or Cherokee can easily drop in from much higher. If you're following an airliner visually, just stay high and aim for the middle of the runway (it has to be long if an airliner's using it), assuming no LAHSO. On of my most exciting approaches was literally almost on top of a 737. Tower had me turn straight to the threshold when the 737 was on short final. I stayed 600 ft AGL to the threshold, arriving almost on top of the 737, then just did a normal approach to land in the far end of the runway. The 737, which was (of course) faster, landed ahead of me and exited long before my planned touchdown point.
