For a $k$-vertex graph $F$ and an $n$-vertex graph $G$, an $F$-tiling in $G$ is a collection of vertex-disjoint copies of $F$ in $G$. For $rin mathbb{N}$, the $r$-independence number of $G$, denoted $alpha_r(G)$ is the largest size of a $K_r$-free set of vertices in $G$. In this paper, we discuss Ramsey--Turan-type theorems for tilings where one is interested in minimum degree and independence number conditions (and the interaction between the two) that guarantee the existence of optimal $F$-tilings. For cliques, we show that for any $kgeq 3$ and $eta>0$, any graph $G$ on $n$ vertices with $delta(G)geq eta n$ and $alpha_k(G)=o(n)$ has a $K_k$-tiling covering all but $lfloortfrac{1}{eta}rfloor(k-1)$ vertices. All conditions in this result are tight; the number of vertices left uncovered can not be improved and for $eta<tfrac{1}{k}$, a condition of $alpha_{k-1}(G)=o(n)$ would not suffice. When $eta>tfrac{1}{k}$, we then show that $alpha_{k-1}(G)=o(n)$ does suffice, but not $alpha_{k-2}(G)=o(n)$. These results unify and generalise previous results of Balogh-Molla-Sharifzadeh, Nenadov-Pehova and Balogh-McDowell-Molla-Mycroft on the subject. We further explore the picture when $F$ is a tree or a cycle and discuss the effect of replacing the independence number condition with $alpha^*(G)=o(n)$ (meaning that any pair of disjoint linear sized sets induce an edge between them) where one can force perfect $F$-tilings covering all the vertices. Finally we discuss the consequences of these results in the randomly perturbed setting.
