Just like driving a car.

If I asked you to drive along a line in the road, keeping the centre of the car on the line, you would offset your viewpoint slightly.

Since in most jet transports the nosewheel is aft of the flight deck, then when taxying around corners it is a simple matter of overhanging the centreline.

It's very easy believe me.
